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.

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

Phlebotomist

Our practice manager is Diane Stringer. Her role is the overall responsibility for all administrative and financial aspects within the practice and to ensure the smooth running of the surgery. If you need to contact her she will be able to assist you with any complaints, queries or suggestions. You can do this via the website feedback page or by contacting the surgery.

The practice manager is also responsible for the administrative team. Their jobs are to deal with the everyday running of the surgery including processing prescription requests, appointments, referral letters, patient registrations and patient transfers out of the practice.

The reception team is here to help our patients and their job is often a very busy one. To help them to help you please be patient and remember a smile and a thank you are always appreciated.

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.

Answering questions about your medicines for example if you are worried about a side effect or have a question about how to take the medicine you have been prescribed.

Help with more complicated repeat requests.

Review your medicines with you to make sure you are getting the best from the medicines you are prescribed.

Review medicines after discharge from hospital so that records are accurate.
