Training Practice

We are a training practice. As well as the regular doctors, we sometimes have qualified doctors working with us for up to 12 months, who are learning about general practice. Consultations are sometimes videoed and inspection of medical records is undertaken for training purposes only. We also have assistants who work part time for family reasons and sometimes locum doctors who are employed to cover absence.

Liz is an Advanced Nurse Practitioners which means she has been assessed as competent in practice using her expert clinical knowledge and skills. She has the freedom and authority to act, making autonomous decisions in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of patients. She is well placed to manage minor illness conditions for example urinary tract infections, chest ear, nose and throat infections, skin complaints etc

Paramedic, Dementia Clinical Lead and Dementia Care Co-ordinator. James runs dementia service (Golden Ticket) clinics for patients with dementia, their families and carers.

We are in the process of creating an Urgent Care Team who will support our Duty Doctor with those patients who have an urgent on the day clinical need. 

Experienced qualified paramedics Dorien, Josh, Reece and Elaine have recently joined our Urgent Care Team. Once they have completed their induction into General Practice (likely towards the end of 2022) we will be able to offer a substantially increased number of appointments 'on the day' to those whom have an urgent clinical need. This will create extra capacity with our GPs for those who have 'routine' (non urgent health matters)  they need to discuss with a doctor. 

Our healthcare assistants and phlebotomist work under the supervision of our nurses.

They take blood tests, perform ECGs and help with new patient checks.
