Practice Team

Training practice

We are proud to be an established GP training surgery, helping qualified doctors known as registrars complete the final stages of their GP training. We believe that achieving and maintaining training surgery status enhances the quality of the medical care that we provide at the surgery.

Dr. Neha Mugerwa and Dr. Soul Mugerwa both have a keen interest in training and education.  Junior doctors and GPs in training make up an increasing number of doctors in primary care nationally as well as her at Church Road.  They usually stay on placement  with us for around 12 months.  When you make your appointment to see a GP you may be booked with one of our registrar doctors, these doctors are well supported by Dr. Neha Mugerwa and Dr. Soul Mugerwa.  Please do not be alarmed if a training doctor asks for advice from a senior GP during your consultation, we are committed to providing the best clinical care possible to our patients.  As well as our partners you may see the following doctors at Church Road:

• GP Specialist Trainees (Registrars) – these are doctors undergoing specialist training to become a GP. They are fully qualified doctors who have worked for several years in hospital specialities before starting specialist training to be a GP. GP ST1 doctors are in their first years of specialist GP training, GP ST2 are in year 2 and GP ST3 are in their final year of training to become a GP. They always have access to support from a fully qualified GP.
• Student doctor – A student training to become a doctor before they have qualified. You will also be seen by a qualified GP if you see a student doctor

GP net earnings

All GP surgeries are required to declare the mean earnings (average pay) for doctors working to deliver NHS services to patients.

The mean earnings for GPs working in Church Road Medical Practice in the financial year ending 31st March 2021 was £94,740 before deduction of employee’s superannuation
contributions, tax and National Insurance. This is the average pay for the 2 full-time GPs.

Please note that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it does not take into account how much time doctors spend working in the surgery and therefore should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other surgeries.
