Meet our fantastic healthcare team! We are here to take care of you and make sure you feel comfortable. Our team includes skilled doctors and friendly staff who all work together to help you stay healthy.
Our doctors work in a partnership and as a group. Although you are registered with a named doctor, you may see any of the doctors in the partnership. However, we encourage you to remain with one GP for routine appointments to improve continuity.

Practice Management

The Practice Manager is involved in managing all of the business aspects of the practice such as making sure that the right systems are in place to provide a high quality of patient care, finance, patient safety, premises and equipment and information technology. |
Reception
|
All our Receptionists are trained Patient Advisors who provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Patient Advisors make most of the patient appointments with the GPs, ANPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits. They work under guidance from the Partners. |
Health Visitors
| A health visitor is a registered nurse who has received training particularly related to babies, children and pregnant women. Their role is to provide families with children under five years old with support and advice around the general aspects of mental, physical and social wellbeing. |
Attached Staff
|
Our GPs are supported by a team of Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Practice Nurses, Health Care Assistants and Pharmacy Technicians who deliver a range of services. In addition we have a team of health visitors, school health advisors and midwives attached to the practice. Together, these disciplines offer a considerable level of expertise to the community. The practice also offers the services of a dietician, a chiropodist, a physiotherapist, a smoking cessation advisor, a mental health care team and an alcohol dependency counsellor. Your doctor can advise you on the procedure for making use of these services. |
