Other
Doctors in the Endocrinology Clinic |
|
University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust is a
nationally-recognised centre for training in the specialty of endocrinology. Many of our clinics will therefore include doctors
who are specialty trainees. All of these doctors are fully qualified in medicine
and most will already hold the postgraduate qualification which is required
to become a specialty registrar (the MRCP or Membership of the Royal College
of Physicians) but they may be at any stage in the 5 years of specialty
training required to become a Consultant endocrinologist. Although you may see a specialty trainee in the
clinic, your care is ultimately the responsibility of one of our consultant
endocrinologists. At least one consultant will be working in every clinic
(other than in exceptional circumstances). The specialist trainee may already
be fully competent to manage your endocrine disorder, but will often discuss
the case with us in clinic where decisions are more complex. If you have any concerns about the advice you are
being given in clinic then please ask for your case to be discussed with the
consultant. We will also be happy to book you onto the consultant’s own list
at your next attendance (but cannot always guarantee that there will be
enough time to see you during the current visit) |

Medical
Students |
|
University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust is a
teaching hospital which trains medical students, and the main place where You will therefore often find that a medical student
is sitting in the consultation room when you attend clinic, because we
believe that it is important for the next generation of doctors to learn as
much as possible about endocrine conditions and their diagnosis and
treatment. We hope that you will be happy for them to hear your
story and observe the treatment of your endocrine condition. However, if for
any reason you would prefer to see one of the doctors or nurses without a
medical student present then just ask – we will always be happy to arrange
this. |
