Reception

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, and dealing with patient records. The team consists of Vicky, Julie, Linda, Karen, Pat, Jenny, Taylor, Lisa, Gill, Hayley and Katie.

Clinical Pharmacists

Our clinical pharmacists are highly qualified health professionals who have trained for many years to become a specialist in medicines and how they work. They will work with our general practice team to ensure that your medicines help you get better and stay well. Having clinical pharmacists in the practice means you'll be treated by the best professional for your needs.
