Practice Staff

Doctors

We have a number of doctors on site, both male(m) and female(f). The current list is shown below together with their areas of interest.

Nursing Team

Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANP).
These nurses have completed additional training to allow them to treat and Prescribe medication. Some Nurses have also had additional Specialist Training.

Practice Nurses.
Practice nurses are qualified and registered nurses. They can help with health issues such as family planning, healthy living advice, blood pressure checks and dressings. The practice nurses run clinics for long-term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes, minor ailment clinics and carry out cervical smears.

Health Care Assistants. (HCA)
Healthcare assistants support practice nurses with their daily work and carry out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement, Health Checks, some immunisations and new patient checks. They may act as a chaperone when a patient or doctor requests one.

Admin Team

The Practice Manager and Deputy Practice Manager are responsible for the overall day to day operation of the Practice.

The Reception Supervisor is responsible for the Reception team and its day to day work.

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.
