Testimonials I started ST1 at the Elizabeth Avenue Group Practice and my experience here has completely reinforced the reasons I wanted to become a GP.  EVERY SINGLE GP!! here has been personable, approachable and very supportive to my needs as a trainee. All lovey people.  There is also a sense of team spirit and togetherness here as compared to other practices, there's a break room where we get together to have lunch and banter.  The reception team and practice manager are just lovely, helpful and so very pleasant. I never felt pressured to go down on my consultation time at any point, it was all guided by how ready I felt. The amount of admin I received was very reasonable, just enough to give me a taste of what a real GP does. I had my very own room which helped to make me feel even more at home.  The patient demographic is interesting in that it is very mixed in terms of social class and ethnicity, so u felt like u were getting a wide scope. Without a word of exaggeration I cannot think of a single negative thing to say about this practice. Count yourself very lucky if you are placed here.  Yasmin GPST1
