Abstract

Dear Editor, Thank you to Dr Emery for raising the issue of infrastructure required to host a long-term medical student while offering him/her a valuable learning opportunity1. To 'parallel consult' the student does indeed need a room fitted for consultation with patients and support from practice staff, as does any doctor working in the practice.
