Pool Health Centre

Pool Health Centre is committed to education and training of its team and the future NHS workforce. We are an accredited GP Training Practice. This means that we usually have at least one doctor with us for a 12 month period as a Registrar.

The Registrar is a fully qualified doctor with several years experience in hospital medicine, who is completing the post-graduate training in general practice and who functions as an independent practitioner, sharing the on-call and surgery duties. Medical students from the Peninsula Medical School are frequently in attendance. The receptionist will inform you if a medical student is sitting in with your doctor. 

There have been doctors practicing in Pool since the 19th century. The current Health Centre was purpose-built in 1979 and has undergone at least three major alterations since.
