EXCITING NEWS for 2024!

Accredited Training Practice

We are pleased to announce that Park Avenue Medical Centre & Kings Heath Health has been accepted and granted training status to train GP Registrars.

Being a Training Practice is a mark of quality and practices have to go through a rigorous selection process before they can receive GP Registrars. 

We will be involved in the training process of these GP Registrars who are experienced doctors and who have decided on a career in General Practice. Before they come to the practice they have worked for several years as hospital doctors and are learning to adapt their medical skills and knowledge to the General Practice environment.

As part of their three-year training to become general practitioners they undergo regular supervision and assessments. The GP registrar is encouraged to take on long-term problems which are presented by the patient to him/her, in association with the patient's own doctor.

This is an excellent opportunity for us to ensure sustainability and continuity of NHS Primary Care by training the GPs of the future.

Over the last few months, the surgery has experienced an increased amount of property damage externally to the practice and fly tipping.   

Please be advised that the car park is for patients parking only (at their own risk) and CCTV is in operation. 

We would ask for your support in reporting any damage you witness to the Practice Management.
