Doctors

| We are a Training Practice so each year we have at least one GP Registrar. These are fully qualified doctors gaining experience of general practice.
We also have 4th and 5th year medical students and occasionally 1st & 2nd year students. If you agree to be seen by a student, there will always be a fully qualified Doctor in the room at the same time. You have the right to request that the student leaves the room. It is important that students are able to see real patients as part of their training and education. |

| Receptionists provide an important link between patients and 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 patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.
The Receptionists are trained to make further enquiries if you ask for an emergency appointment. They have no clinical knowledge so will not be able to give results and information unless instructed by a Doctor or Nurse. They are bound by strict rules of confidentiality and are only able to discuss patient appointments, test results, medical history etc with the actual patient, unless given specific consent to discuss these with a family member or friend. |
