Doctors

General Practitioners (GPs)

Nursing Team

Our Advanced Nurse Practitioners are nurses who have undertaken further training in specialist fields at advanced levels in health assessments and acute illnesses. They assess, diagnose and treat a range of conditions with medication prescribing and referring into secondary care.

The practice nurses are available by appointment and are responsible for running nurse led clinics to include vaccinations, dressings, cytology, ear syringing and chronic illness clinic support.

Practice Team

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, human resources, finance, patient safety, premises and equipment and information technology.

The practice manager supports the GPs and other medical professionals with delivering patient services and also helps to develop extended services to enhance patient care.

Reception

Receptionists 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. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs 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.
