The past, present and future of our practice

We are a practice of approximately 10,300 patients covering a large part of High Wycombe. Carrington House Surgery is a long established practice serving High Wycombe for over 30 years.

Translation service

A local translation (interpreting) service is available free of charge for patients using GP and NHS hospital services in England. This also includes interpreting for people who are deaf or deaf/blind. A member of our reception team can arrange an interpreter for a consultation in the practice. For any hospital appointment contact the hospital department dealing with your treatment or appointment and they will arrange an interpreter.

Please let us know if you need interpreting help as soon as possible to make sure we can have an interpreter in place for your consultation at the practice (ideally this should be when you make the appointment at the practice).

We do not allow children to act as interpreters during any treatments or appointments at the practice.

Training Practice

We are accredited as a Training Practice for GP Specialty Trainees. When you are offered an appointment, this may be with one of our GP trainees. Our GP trainees occasionally video their consultations for learning purposes. They will always ask your permission in the consultation, but if you object to your consultation being recorded, you can also let us know when booking an appointment. This is explained in more detail below.

Carrington House Surgery is a training practice for young Doctors who want to make their careers in general practice. This means that the practice has to achieve high standards and be regularly inspected to ensure that those standards are maintained. By achieving “training” status the practice is able to train young fully qualified Doctors (GP Registrars), who come to us with an experienced hospital background, prior to becoming GP principals in their own right.

As part of their ongoing training and qualification the GP Registrars are required to present some video consultations to the Royal College of General Practitioners. Our GP trainees also occasionally video their consultations for learning purposes. Patients may be asked to allow their consultation to be videoed. This will only be done with the full, unequivocal consent of the patient concerned.

You will be informed at the time of checking-in that the consultation is requested to be videoed and you will be asked to sign a consent form to confirm your agreement at the appointment. You have the right to decline being videoed and this will not affect your consultation.

We will always ask your permission, but if you object to your consultation being recorded, you can also let us know when booking an appointment.
