HEALTH CARE TEAM AND PRACTICE STAFF

Practice Manager Chris Thompson
We employ a practice manager, a deputy manager, secretary, admin staff and teams of receptionists, all of whom help to keep the practice running smoothly to assist the doctors, in addition to answering the telephone, making appointments and performing routine clerical duties on behalf of our patients.

PRACTICE NURSES

We have five practice nurses and four health care assistants.

One of our nurses is normally available during surgery hours for advice on minor illnesses or problems, blood tests, blood pressure checks, urine checks, vaccinations (for routine and for travel), dressings, ear syringing and advice on dieting, healthy living, diabetic care and cervical smears. An appointment system is in operation.

The nurses also run their own health promotion, foreign travel, weight reduction, stress, anti-smoking, asthma and specialist ear clinics.

DISTRICT NURSES

A team of district nurses support the work of the practice by caring for patients who are unable to attend surgery for the provision of wound dressings and other nursing duties. They also hold regular sessions in the surgery for the provision of certain services. Referral to the district nurses will be by the doctor or practice nurse.

HEALTH VISITORS

These are available for health care advice particularly for small children, expectant mothers, the elderly and the handicapped. The health visitors can be contacted via the practice.

A health visitor will also be available in the child health clinic on Wednesdays (see clinic details).

MIDWIVES

The midwives run the antenatal clinics which are based at the Stag Medical Centre. They are available for advice about pregnancy and newborn babies, breast feeding and bottle feeding. One of the community midwives will visit mothers and their newborn babies at home.

CHIROPODY

A limited NHS service for chiropody is provided and you can arrange to see the chiropodist if you are a senior citizen, a person with disabilities, pregnant or a school child.

PHYSIOTHERAPY

Both private and NHS physiotherapy can be arranged by your doctor when appropriate.

PSYCHOLOGIST

A clinical psychologist works closely with our practice and we may advise you to see a psychologist for various reasons.

Consultations can be arranged by us.

COMMUNITY PSYCHIATRIC NURSES

The CPNs work closely with our practice and we can arrange for a nurse to see you at Rose Court Surgery, Stag Medical Centre or, when necessary, at home.

MEDICAL STUDENTS

The practice is used for teaching medical students and sometimes you may find a student "sitting in" with the doctor, observing the doctor at work and discussing problems. You will be informed by the receptionist when you arrive if a student is "sitting in" with your doctor and if you have any objections at all to them being present please let the receptionist know and the student will be asked to allow you a private consultation with the doctor. The students present are all senior medical students approaching qualification.

FOUNDATION DOCTOR

The practice is used for further education and familiarisation of general practice work for doctors. Doctors undergoing this scheme are called foundation doctors. Foundation doctors are fully qualified doctors who have elected to undergo four months’ general practice work.
