Our nurses provide a range of services including health promotion, medical checks, blood tests, injections, ear checks, dressings, diet, family planning, pre-conception advice and routine cervical smears. Nurse-led clinics for annual reviews for patients with chronic diseases are also carried out by our Advanced Nurse Practitioner and Practice Nurse. Appointments are available daily and can be made at reception in the usual way.

The practice manager is involved in managing all 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 helps to develop extended services to enhance patient care.

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. The team consists of Joyce, Lesley, Kerry, Martine, Jeanette and Rachel.
