Harvey Group Practice is a well established teaching practice, with a long history of supporting medical students and trainee doctors during various stages of their professional careers.
The practice regularly supports medical students on placement from University College London and other local Medical Schools. We also have Foundation year 2 Doctors, and GPs in training on site. In addition, we support Physician Associate Masters students, and those studying their pharmacy degree programme, who may occasionally be present in the surgery as observers.
We are also one of a select group of Practices working remotely with the University of Buckingham supporting medical students for their Narrative medicine course.
Taking part
If you wish to participate as a volunteer patient for the University of Buckingham Narrative medicine course, please contact us via our email address e82084.harveyhousesurgey@nhs.net
Your contribution and sharing your experiences navigating the NHS as a patient with chronic disease with the students can help shape the next generation of Doctors.
Dr Devoshree Chatterjee is our lead GP for teaching and for the narrative medicine course; she coordinates the initial student meetings with their volunteer patient and oversees the patient participation.
