Your Doctors
The doctors work in partnership. They all work full-time and can provide contraceptive services, minor surgery and maternity services. Practice StaffNurse Practitioners We employ two nurse specialists who are able to prescribe and see patients in consultations and treat and prescribe for various conditions such as minor ailments and general advice on health problems. They also can refer to the doctor on the day if your condition warrants this. Nursing Team Our team comprises four nurses and two nursing assistants, who support the nursing team who work with us in the surgery and clinics. They will be able to help you with many problems and can be available for general advice. In addition they see and manage patients according to protocols, with ongoing medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and immunisations as well as screening. You can make an appointment to see a nurse without seeing the doctor. Practice Management The practice management team consists of the manager and the assistant manager. They are responsible for the day-to-day running of the practice. If you have any queries or suggestions to help us improve our services write or ask to speak to either one. Receptionists Our receptionists mainly deal with organising appointments, clinics, requests for home visits and repeat prescriptions. They may need to ask some personal details, but they are only following the instructions of the doctors and the practice manager. The reception staff are all bound by confidentiality agreements and it is their duty and within their remit to ask questions about your condition so that they can direct you to the appropriate service. Staff Attached to the PracticeHealth Visitors The health visitors
may be contacted by telephoning 242354 between 9.00
and 5.00pm. District Nurses The district nurses attached to the practice look after people, especially the elderly, who are confined to their homes but need nursing care. These arrangements will be made through your doctor when necessary. District Midwives The district midwives run our antenatal clinics. They care for our pregnant patients and are available for advice throughout pregnancy and the early postnatal period. |
