Boundary House Medical Centre is located between Sale and Northenden in suburban South Manchester. It is situated in an area of mixed socio-economic housing, including a large council estate.  The Practice has a list of 9,000 patients, equally divided between Trafford and Manchester, and works from excellent, modernised premises with good facilities for GP training.  Please come and see for yourself, we welcome visits from potential registrars, by arrangement with our Practice Manager.

Dr. Jonathan Berry is the managing partner, and leads on diabetes.
Dr. Paul Gray chairs our weekly business meetings, leads on ischaemic heart disease and offers acupuncture.
Dr. Fran Moley is lead partner for child health surveillance and also has an interest in mental health, serving on the local strategic planning group.

What you can expect
As our registrar, you will be an important part of the practice team and will have the opportunity to explore all aspects of primary care in a busy and stimulating environment.  You will have your own spacious, air-conditioned consulting room. You will be expected to attend the local day release course for GP trainees. There are normally two hours of protected teaching time each week, with various members of the team contributing according to their special interests. 

Registrars have a two week induction period when you will shadow members of the team and learn to use our computerised medical records.  Subsequently, the trainer will guide you through a detailed curriculum, which is modified according to your learning needs. As well as clinical topics, the curriculum generally includes analysis of your consultation skills using video, medical ethics in primary care, critical reading techniques and participation in business management.

Your out-of-hours experience must meet the regional criteria and will be arranged with Mastercall, our local out-of-hours provider.

We are an equal opportunities employer.
