Current Trainees
All our trainees are supervised by one of our GPs (Dr M Rushton/Dr J Mackinnon) with every session they work. Please do see them, they will be able to help you, and seek further advice and support from their clinical supervisor as may be needed. This is the best way they can learn, and we are committed to helping the development of excellent GPs of the future.
Dr M Rushton has taught medical students at University level, GP trainees at Trinity Medical Centre at levels ST1, 2 and 3 and he also has a Postgraduate Certificate in Strategic Leadership and Multi-professional Education in Healthcare.
