Nurse Practitioners
Nurse practitioners are senior nurses, who have undertaken further training to work at an advanced level and manage patients independently. They are able to issue prescriptions. You are able to consult a nurse practitioner as an alternative to a doctor for any problem. They will involve a doctor in your care if needed.

Reception
Kaya (Team Leader), Sam (Deputy Team Leader), Jade, Zea, Nicola, Leanne, Michelle, Ellie-mae, Ella (Apprentice), and Scarlett (Apprentice). Our receptionists work across both sites, and are there to help our patients. Our reception staff act at all times in accordance with policies set by the doctors. They will ask for a brief explanation of your problem which will enable them to direct you to the right person for advice or offer you the most suitable appointment. Our receptionists can sometimes tell you standard self-care advice that has been provided by the doctors for very common problems which may not require an appointment.
Over 75 Co-ordinator
Ann and Maxine are the practice’s Over 75’s co-ordinators.
Signposting and socially prescribing are fast becoming essential tools to help combat the potentially devastating effects of loneliness and isolation, both of which factor heavily in the health and wellbeing of this particularly susceptible age group.
The Over 75’s co-ordinator role is, in essence, a signposting role. Utilising a co-ordinator with the right skill set, affording the time to listen to patients, not only helps build patient/surgery trust, but allows the co-ordinator time to hear what may not be being said, which is crucial in recognising any further social and/or medical needs of those individuals where no net is in place.
The individual patient can then be supported and directed where necessary. The co-ordinators liaise with hospitals, social services, pharmacies and many other external organisations to ensure the best information and support is available with the least amount of stress to the patient.
