Wansford & Kings Cliffe Practice is a training practice for General Practitioner Registrars and doctors in training. These are fully trained doctors with a wealth of hospital experience who are being trained for the Primary Care setting.

Training may involve shared surgeries with another doctor and video surgeries. The reception staff will inform you if the consultations are being filmed. Please say if you would prefer not to be filmed.

They can either offer you advice over the phone, or arrange a same day appointment for you. This could be with herself, the On Call Doctor or another Practitioner. If you are housebound, or terminally ill they can also arrange a home visit for you.
