The surgery employs a highly dedicated team of receptionists, administration and housekeeping staff who ensure the day to day running of the surgery is as smooth as possible.

The reception team will help you make appointments, obtain your repeat prescriptions and advise and assist you with any general enquiries you may have. All staff are aware of the critical importance of confidentiality when working in a doctors’ surgery and are required to work very strictly to rules of confidentiality. This is for your protection.

Health Visitors

The health visitors can offer practical support and advice on a variety of health-related topics. They are nurses who have undertaken specialist training in child health and development, health promotion and education. Health visitors support parents and young families by running well baby clinics, a postnatal support group and offering advice on everyday difficulties such as teething, sleeping, feeding and managing difficult behaviour. The health visitors also carry out the routine childhood immunisations.

District Nursing Team

We have a dedicated team of district nurses who perform a number of roles both within the community and at the practice premises. These include removal of sutures, wound care, ear syringing and care of chronically ill and terminally ill patients.

Community Midwife

Full maternity services are provided for expectant mothers in conjunction with our midwife. Home confinements can be arranged, but only after doctor and midwife assessment.
