Welcome to Parklands Surgery

Parklands surgery aims to provide the highest quality healthcare to its patients. Our doctors, nurses and admin team are dedicated to offering a professional service and this website will help us to keep our patients up to date with news and information about our practice.

Training Practice

Parklands Surgery is proud to be an accredited Training Practice, having achieved this status in 2024.  This means we train GP Speciality Trainee (GPST) doctors in conjunction with Health Education England (HEE).

A GPST is a fully qualified, GMC registered doctor who has chosen to pursue a career in General Practice.  They will have at least two years’ experience in a hospital setting prior to entering the training programme. 

Dr Fatima Shamim is the Educational Supervisor who will support the GP trainees in their role, conducting daily review and assessment of their progress.

Patients may be given an appointment with one of our GP trainees, who will consult under the supervision of Dr Shamim. 

As part of their training, for educational purposes, our GP trainees are required to record some consultations by video. Our patients’ consultations will only be recorded with their express written permission. At the end of the consultation the patient will be asked if they are happy for the consultation recording to be kept and used for learning purposes. Patients can withdraw their consent at any time and confidentiality will always be strictly maintained. There is no obligation for a patient to agree to a consultation being recorded and this will not affect care in any way if a patient does not wish to participate. 

The trainees will also require some feedback from patients as part of their training and ongoing professional appraisal and we would greatly appreciate our patients participating in this if they are asked to do so.

We hope our patients will welcome and encourage the GP trainee to our practice. There is a national shortage of Doctors working in General Practice and this is a positive process for the GPST, the practice, the NHS and most importantly our patients.

Our current GPST1 is Dr Mohamed Halane

Chaperones

All Patients are entitled to have a chaperone present for any consultation, examination or procedure where they consider one is required. The chaperone may be a family member or friend but on occasions a formal chaperone may be preferred.

If possible, patients are advised to ask for a chaperone, if one is required, at the time of booking an appointment so that arrangements can be made and the appointment is not delayed in any way. Alternatively, please ask our reception team on arrival.  The Healthcare Professional may also require a chaperone present for certain consultations.
