An appointments system is in operation. The nurses also run their own health promotion, foreign travel, weight reduction, stress, anti-smoking, asthma and specialist ear clinics. The nurses are also involved in screening and health promotion for our over 75-year-old patients, both at the surgery and at the patient's home. DISTRICT NURSESA team of district nurses, led by Sister Julia Farrell 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 VISITORSThese 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. MIDWIVESThe midwives, Mrs J Townend and Mrs T Hutson, run the antenatal clinics which are based at the Stag Medical Centre.

MEDICAL STUDENTSThe 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. |
