GP Registrars
As an accredited training practice we often have GP registrars attached to the practice for 6 or 12 months. GP Registrars are fully qualified doctors who are training to be General Practitioners. GP Registrars are closely supervised by the doctors. Your medical care will not be compromised in any way by consulting with a registrar rather than one of the other doctors.
Nursing Team
All our nurses are experienced, highly trained health professionals. They can all provide a full range of nursing services and in addition they have areas of speciality for which they have received additional training.

Admin Team
The practice management team is involved in managing all of the business aspects of the practice such as making sure that the right systems are in place to provide a high quality of patient care, human resources, finance, patient safety, premises and equipment and information technology. The practice management team supports the GPs and other medical professionals with delivering patient services and also helps to develop extended services to enhance patient care.
Care Navigators provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Our Care Navigators can book appointments with the following range of staff:
- GP’s
- Nurses
- Health Care Assistants & Phlebotomists
- Clinical Pharmacists
- First Care Practitioners
- Mental Health Practitioners
They may also signpost you to outside services such as your local pharmacy or emergency department. The Care Navigators also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with patient records, calling patients in for health monitoring and carrying out searches and practice audits.
