Administration and Secretarial Team
Our medical secretaries work with our GPs, nurse practitioners to make efficient referrals and provide administrative support to patients.
Care Navigation Team
The care navigation team are well trained to signpost and guide patients to the correct doctor, nurse or other clinical specialist we have working in the practice. It is essential that patients work with the medical receptionist so they see the right person at the right time.
Dispensary Team
Clinical Pharmacists
Patients can be signposted to our Clinical Pharmacists for appointments that are two or three times longer than a doctor’s due to current GP workload intensity, e.g. 20–30 minutes, which they appreciate.
Pharmacy Technician
Our Pharmacy Technician is qualified for patient supporting roles to ensure effective medicines use, through shared decision-making conversations with patients. They can carry out medicine optimisation tasks including effective medicine administration, e.g. checking inhaler technique, supporting Pharmacist medication reviews and medicines reconciliation.
Pharmacy Support
We are also working in a more integrated way with our local pharmacies, which can provide convenient and timely health care for more minor symptoms.
