Registrars
Sometimes registered doctors who have had extensive hospital experience and
who hope to enter general practice will be invited to join the practice for six
months or a year to gain insight into the problems with which we deal. The receptionist
will tell you who they are when you book an appointment with them. They are fully
trained, capable doctors and under our supervision. Please accept them as one
of us.
The
Practice Manager
The practice manager, Mrs Shan Evans, is responsible for the overall organisation
and administration of the practice. If you have any suggestions or complaints,
please let her know.
The
Practice Nurses
Sister Alyson Lloyd-Thomas and Sister Sarah Cobain are the practice nurses
and are available by appointment. They are qualified in specific areas of disease/health
promotion management and run various clinics including asthma, diabetes, coronary
heart disease and HRT. Other specialised procedures are offered such as contraceptive
services, smears, travel vaccination advice and general treatment room procedures
of ear syringing, ECGs, dressings and suture removal.
The health care assistant,
Mrs Christine Randall, assists the nurses with various duties. A phlebotomist
is available by appointment for blood tests.
The
Receptionists
The receptionists, led by senior receptionist Mrs Joan Goldsmith, have an
important and sometimes difficult job to do, dealing with a constant stream of
telephone calls and enquiries, so please be patient. When telephoning for medical
attention, the receptionist will ask for a few details. They have been trained
to make these enquiries so that you can be helped in the most appropriate way.
