Trainee GP’s and Students
GP Registrars & Foundation Doctors
Castle Healthcare Practice is a GP teaching practice of The University of Nottingham. We therefore have Registrars and Foundation Doctors working at the Practice. They are fully qualified doctors who are working with us to gain experience working in a General Practice environment.
Medical Students
We are also linked to Nottingham University Medical School providing work experience for medical students. They may be in their 1st, 2nd, 4th or 5th year of training and are placed with our Practice to learn about General Practice. You may find a student present during your consultation with the clinician. If you prefer not to have a student present, you are under no obligation and the student will be asked to leave the room.

Our nurses carry out full vaccination and immunisation programmes for adults and children (including those for travel), cervical smears, dressings, pill checks, ECG’s, blood tests, pre-conceptual advice, well man/well woman checks and many more.

Social Prescribing
Many things can affect your health, from feeling isolated or lonely to work, money, housing problems or managing different long-term conditions.
Your doctor isn’t the only person who can help you get better. There are other things you can do to improve your health and wellbeing, and sometimes you just need a bit of help to work out what they are.
That’s where a PCN social prescribing link worker comes in. They are there to listen to you and put you in touch with the people and activities that might make you feel better.
Social prescribing can help you to have more control over your health and wellbeing by exploring ways to improve how you feel in a way that suits you.
