We have an excellent practice team and we place great emphasis on trying to ensure the health and welfare of our staff. We have regular meetings within and between departments including a monthly staff meeting for all staff where all views are listened to and issues arising are discussed and addressed.

We are all aware of the stresses on General Practice and endeavour to work hard whilst remaining a supportive and friendly work environment.

All our GPs and ANPs contribute in their own way working with their individual strengths and interests. Each of us takes on a designated role and attends meetings related to their specific area and shares the information with the team. Our nurses and HCAs also have areas of interest and are involved in chronic health management.

We are very lucky to have an outstanding team with our receptionists, dispensers/pharmacy team, social prescriber, physio and administration staff working extremely hard to ensure we provide responsive and safe care to our patients.

5 Sessions per week, worked over Monday, Wednesday Morning and Thursday.
