Meet the Team

Advanced nurse practitioners are highly experienced and educated members of the care team who are able to diagnose and treat your healthcare needs, prescribe medicines or refer you to an appropriate specialist if needed.

Our practice nurses are available by appointment. They look after much of the ongoing (chronic) illness such as Asthma, COPD, Diabetes, Hypertension and Heart disease as well as offering general nursing services.The practice nurses are available between 08:30am and 18:15pm Monday and 7.00am-18.15pm Tues-Friday.

Healthcare assistants support practice nurses with their daily work and carry out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement and new patient checks. They may act as a chaperone when a patient or doctor requests one.

Our receptionists are approachable and are able to answer many of your queries. They will act as a link between you and other members of the team. If you are in doubt about anything please ask a receptionist for help. Our staff always aim to be courteous and to facilitate the smooth running of the practice.

We share two clinical pharmacists with other local practices and they work at our practice several days per month. Their role is to support us with prescribing safely, cost effectively and within current guidelines.
