Reception

All the receptionists may work at both sites.

The receptionists will be pleased to arrange appointments for you and also help you with any enquiries. There are also secretaries and computer operators. They are all here to help you! They are trained and qualified in their jobs and are a very important part of the health care team. They act on doctors’ instructions and have a difficult job to do. They are busy during surgery hours so please try to be patient.

Practice Nurses

Our practice nurses hold surgeries by appointment.

They have had extra training in areas such as family planning, taking smears and the management of diabetes and asthma.

They can attend to:

  • contraceptive advice
  • blood and urine tests
  • HRT and contraceptive pill checks
  • blood pressure checks
  • minor injuries
  • ear syringing
  • travel vaccinations
  • immunisations
  • diabetic annual checks
  • chronic heart disease and asthma checks

A nurse will usually carry out your new registration check-up.

The receptionist can help you decide whether it would be better to see the doctor or nurse.

It is sometimes possible to see the nurse sooner than the doctor and may be more appropriate.

District Nurses

Eight district nurses attached to the practice work closely with the doctors providing home nursing care. They have access to equipment to make nursing at home easier for patient and carer. Their phone number is on the useful numbers page.

Health Visitors

Three health visitors look after the health and development of children and also work with families, the elderly and disabled people. They run their own and vaccination clinics and are contactable through the surgeries. Their phone number is on the useful numbers page.

Community Midwives

Three midwives provide care and advice throughout pregnancy and postnatally. They run parentcraft classes and antenatal clinics at both surgeries on a Monday afternoon and are available in and out of hours for advice. Their phone number is on the useful numbers page.

Training Practice

The practice has been a training practice for GP registrars since 2003, successfully passing several quality assessments to achieve this. As we already provide training for medical students, midwives, health visitors, district and other community nurses, this development completes our training package range.

GP registrars are doctors in their last year before becoming GPs, having completed their hospital training. They can prescribe and see all conditions, always with the support of one of the full GP principals.

The medical students are more closely supervised and tend to see patients alongside one of the main doctors.

Attached Staff

  • Chiropodists and speech therapists are based at both practices.
  • We also liaise with physiotherapists, community psychiatric nurses and school nurses.
  • Douglas Macmillan and Marie Curie nurses.
  • Osteopath - Liz Elander. Optional fee-paying service (no waiting list), additional to existing NHS services. Patients can refer themselves to Liz via the surgery reception. Treatment is gentle and suitable for all age groups.
