THE TEAM MEMBERSPractice Staff All five surgeries are managed by an overall practice manager, Mr Lee Beesley. Whilst the practice manager oversees all five sites, he also has managers at each of the sites to help him and the staff organise the surgeries. Reception StaffThe reception staff will assist you in making emergency and routine appointments to see your doctor, undertake repeat prescriptions, answer numerous and varied questions and offer help and assistance at all times. It is a requirement that confidentiality of patients' records is maintained at the highest level by all staff. We hope you will always be received courteously, and would ask you to bear in mind that the receptionists have a difficult job, often being pressurised by busy doctors on one side and anxious patients on the other. If you have any problems please ask to speak to the manager. Practice NursesAt present we have a team of practice nurses, all of whom can provide numerous services and are led by the senior practice nurse, Angela Millar. Their numerous tasks include infant and adult immunisation, cervical smears and family planning, dressings and removal of stitches, and clinics to monitor blood pressure, asthma and diabetes. Appointments may be made by phoning your surgery after 8.30am each morning. General Practitioner Registrars, Housemen and StudentsOur practice is a training/teaching practice. Our registrars are fully qualified and have a great deal of hospital experience. Registrars are attached to our practice for 12 months and patients find their fresh, enthusiastic approach adds to the health care we provide. The registrars are at all times encouraged to seek advice from the practice partners, and they may also ask your consent to video your consultation for training purposes. We also have F2 doctors, in their second year post qualifications, attached to the practice throughout the year. Each will join us for four months slotted in between their duties at St. George's and St. Thomas' Hospitals. We are also fortunate to have medical students attached to our practice and, with your consent, they may be present at the consultation with your doctor. |
