Alva Medical Practice

Alva Medical Practice is an accredited General Practitioner Training Practice and, as such, benefits from the attachment of GP Registrars and a GP Retainer. These are fully qualified doctors, with at least three years post qualification experience. Dr Christina Cairns is the GP Retainer attached to the practice. She works 2 days per week. As part o... f the Registrar's training, on occasions, we require to video record some patient consultations. This is never done without the patient's consent, and intimate physical examinations will not be recorded. The camera will also be switched off at any time at the request of the patient. On occasion the Practice has medical and nursing students on placement. If a student is working with your doctor or nurse you will be asked if they can be present during your consultation. You do not have to give consent to this - the choice is entirely yours.Read More
