Medical Students

We are a training practice and proud to support the next generation of healthcare professionals. You may occasionally meet medical students during your visit, as we work closely with local universities to provide hands-on experience in a real practice setting. These students are always supervised by our clinical team, and your comfort and privacy will always remain a priority. If you’d prefer not to have a student present during your appointment, just let us know.

Nursing Team

We have practice nurses who perform tasks under the direction of the doctors. They also run health promotion clinics in conjunction with the doctors.

Appointments with them can be made by asking reception.

Some tasks performed by the nurses can only be done after the patient has seen the doctor and others can only be done when there is a doctor on the premises. These rules are for your safety.

 Admin/Reception

Secretaries and clerical staff do a lot of behind the scenes administrative work which keeps the practice running smoothly. All of our receptionists are trained to deal with your needs. They make appointments, take messages, including visit requests. Please be patient with them, they are trying to keep everyone happy.

PCN Team

As part of our Primary Care Network (PCN), we’re supported by a wider team of healthcare professionals who work across several local practices. This includes roles such as pharmacists, physiotherapists, care coordinators, mental health practitioners, and social prescribers. They help us provide more holistic care and ensure patients have access to the right support at the right time.
