Practice Staff

Doctors

Patients are free to consult whichever doctor they choose, irrespective of the doctor with whom they are registered. However, it is best if some continuity can be maintained by seeing the same doctor for each problem.

If you have a preference for a particular doctor, please inform our Reception Staff.

All GPs are registered with the General Medical Council.

The doctors have asked them to make these enquiries so that they can help you in the most appropriate way. Our Reception Staff have undertaken special training and are bound by the same strict rules of confidentiality as the doctors and nurses.

Our Secretary deals with all the letters dictated by the doctors concerning NHS or private referrals.
