Training Practice

We at Barking Medical Group Practice believe in teaching and mentoring to be an important and integral part of general practice.
We are registered to be a training practice and mentor GP registrars ( Fully qualified doctors in GP training), Foundation doctors( Fully qualified doctors ) and Medical students.
These doctors are fully supervised, and we take responsibility for their consultations and medical decisions
As they are in training the consultations can be recorded at times for training purposes.
If you are scheduled to attend a recorded consultation the receptionist will inform you in advance and consent will be duly taken.
Although we have a responsibility towards training our junior doctors, we always honour our patients request in cases where they decline to have recorded consultations.
We have always been thankful to our patients for co- operating in this important aspect of their training and look forward to having new trainee doctors at the surgery every year .

Important Update: MSK MRI & Ultrasound Referral Pathway

New Referral Process for Routine MSK MRI/Ultrasound Requests

Please be aware that the referral pathway for routine Musculoskeletal (MSK) MRI and Ultrasound (US) requests has changed and should be implemented with immediate effect.

Under the new North East London (NEL) ICB MSK Single Point of Access (SPA) pathway, patients requiring routine MSK imaging should no longer be referred directly to BHRUT for MRI or Ultrasound.

Instead, patients should be referred via NHS e-Referral Service (e-RS) using Rego to the appropriate MSK Single Point of Access (SPA). Following a specialist MSK assessment, imaging will be arranged if clinically appropriate.

Referral Options

MSK Secondary Care SPA – Orthopaedics, Pain & Spine RAS (King George Hospital – BHRUT)
Primary Care MSK Team (PCMT) SPA – Musculoskeletal Therapies RAS (King George Hospital)

Important Information

Routine GP requests for MSK MRI/Ultrasound should no longer be sent directly to BHRUT.
Any routine MRI/US referrals already submitted but not yet processed may be returned to the referring practice.
If imaging is still required, the patient should be re-referred through the appropriate MSK SPA via e-RS (Rego).
Urgent referrals remain unchanged and should continue to follow the existing urgent or suspected serious pathology pathways.

This updated pathway is designed to ensure patients receive the most appropriate assessment and imaging at the right stage of their care, helping improve access and streamline MSK services across North East London.
