Surgery Staff

Our staff group include the following:

   

All patients at our practice are allocated a named GP and your named GP is responsible for the co-ordination of your care. Our patients have a named GP because it offers continuity for patients but you are free to see alternative GPs of your choice if you desire. From time to time we might offer an appointment with an alternative GP if we feel that their speciality is tailored towards your needs at the time.
If you are unsure who your allocated GP is, please don’t hesitate to contact the surgery. You may also change your named GP if you require.

 

Clinical Research

This Surgery is research active.
Conducting high-quality clinical research helps us to keep improving NHS care by finding out which treatments work best.
In this practice, you might be asked to take part in a clinical research study. Alternatively, ask our staff about clinical studies suitable for you.
Taking part in a clinical research study is voluntary and can be a rewarding experience.
