Availability of Doctors

Due to outside commitments such as the requirement to undertake continuous professional development, be involved in NHS project meetings and citations to attend court hearings, etc, doctors may be absent from the practice, often at short notice. Locums are sometimes employed in the practice to cover these periods.

Doctors In Training

We are recognised as a training practice to teach doctors the skills of General practice. These doctors are fully qualified and have usually worked in hospitals for at least three years. We are also a recognised teaching practice for Medical Students.

As part of the training we sometimes make video recordings of the consultation for discussion with small groups of doctors only. Your consent would always be asked for before any such recordings were made and you would be able to withdraw consent at the end of the consultation if you changed your mind. If you feel uncomfortable about video recordings please let us know before the consultation. It will not affect the consultation.

We are grateful for your co-operation in the important work of teaching future GPs.

The practice nurse can only be seen by appointment Monday to Friday. Standard procedures such as removal of stitches, wound dressings and blood tests are dealt with in the treatment room. Ongoing care such as annual thyroid blood tests, diabetic or any required hospital outpatient blood tests are dealt with directly by making an appointment with the practice nurse.

Nurses In Training

You may encounter student nurses and nurses undergoing postgraduate training both at home and in the practice. Your consent would always be sought prior to any consultation.

Administrative Staff

The practice manager is responsible for the day to day administration and management of the practice. We have an Office Supervisor heading up the team of receptionists who are here to assist you. Anything you tell them will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Behind the scenes we have a large team who are dealing directly with letters, test results, appointments, insurance papers, etc. You can speak directly with a member of our administration team if you feel this is appropriate.

We have a Pharmacy team attached to the practice who can help you with any queries you have about your medication. This includes any queries about repeat prescriptions. The Pharmacy team can arrange appointments with patients to discuss their medication and may be able to help with changes to medication, for example, when someone has been in hospital.

It takes 48 hours to process a prescription if handed into the Practice and 72 hours if handed into a local chemist.

We are not a dispensing practice and, therefore, do not dispense medication on the premises.
