Advanced Clinic Practitioners

ACPs (Advanced Clinic Practitioners) are are highly experienced medical professionals who are educated to Master’s level. They have the skills required to examine/ assess, diagnose, prescribe, and treat Patient healthcare needs, or refer to an appropriate Specialist if required in a similar way to Doctors.

Nursing Team

Practice Nurses (PN’s) aid Patients with queries and health advice including chronic disease management, wound management, and child health immunisations. They can also initiate investigations such as ECGs and blood tests.

Collectively Assistant Practitioners, Nurse Associates, Health Care Assistants, and Phlebotomists work alongside Practice Nurses to carry out blood tests, blood pressure checks, and ear care, provide lifestyle and stop smoking advice, assist with wound management, and are able to administer some vaccinations.

Clinical Pharmacists

Pharmacists have detailed knowledge about drugs and their effects. They help resolve day-to-day medicine issues and consult with Patients directly.

They also provide help to manage long-term conditions, advising those taking multiple medicines, and deliver clinical advice about treatments.

Physiotherapists

Steph works at the Practice a couple of days a week. She is able to provide Physiotherapy support to patients who meet certain criteria, as well as being able to carry out certain types of joint injections & musculoskeletal support.

Social Prescribers

Social Prescribers work with Patients to explore their individual support needs, develop a personal plan, and set goals to work to reduce barriers and motivate patients to make positive life changes. This could include addressing issues such as unemployment, loneliness, or money issues.

If you feel like you would benefit from some support from the Team, please inform a Patient Care Advisor and they will refer you onto them.

Patient Care Advisors

Our Patient Care Advisors welcome patients to the surgery, arrange appointments, answer patient queries and carry out administration tasks. They use Health Navigation, which involves asking patients a few questions to understand the nature of their query using clinically designed protocols. This enables them to offer the most appropriate professional for the patient, which may not necessarily be a GP. It is not a clinical consultation and it does not make a diagnosis or plan treatment, it merely connects the patient with the most appropriate person or service.

Please give the Patient Care Advisors as much information as you can in order to help them help you. They will need to ask for further details or check information in your medical records when you telephone the surgery. They are bound by the same rules of confidentiality as the Doctors and Nurses and everything that you tell them is treated in confidence.
