Foxhayes Surgery is a  training practice and we teach medical students.  Sometimes you may be asked to see the doctor or nurse with a student present. You will always be asked beforehand if this is acceptable and you may ask for the student to withdraw if you prefer to have your consultation in private. This practical experience is a key feature of the medical student's training and by allowing students to sit in you are playing an important part in training the doctors of the future.

If you decline this will not affect your treatment in any way.
