What Is a GP Registrar?
Fully qualified doctors. Expertly supported. Committed to great care.
At Rosedale Medical Practice, some of our doctors are GP Registrars — fully qualified medical doctors who are completing their advanced specialist training in general practice.
They’ve finished medical school and their hospital years, and are now building their skills in community-based, whole-person care. Each Registrar works under the guidance of a nominated senior GP supervisor, with regular case discussions, mentoring, and clinical oversight to support safe, high-quality care.
Registrars usually stay with us for 6 to 12 months during this stage of their training. If your Registrar’s placement comes to an end, we’ll help ensure a smooth handover to another doctor, so your care remains connected.
Why Choose a GP Registrar?
- More time to talk things through
- A fresh perspective, backed by experienced guidance
- A doctor who’s engaged, up to date, and committed to thoughtful care
- Supervised care, with shared decision-making when needed
You’re always welcome to choose whether you’d like to see a Registrar or one of our senior GPs — just let us know when you book.
Why We Train the Next Generation of GPs
We believe great care takes time, curiousity, and the willingness to keep learning — and that means investing in the future of general practice.
Training GP Registrars is part of our Care Outside the Box® philosophy: helping grow the kind of doctors who listen well, work collaboratively, and put patients at the centre of their care.
Choosing to see a Registrar doesn’t just give you access to longer, relationship-based care — it also helps shape the kind of healthcare we all deserve, now and into the future.
If you’d like to book with one of our GP Registrars or have questions about how this works, we’re happy to talk it through.
