Other Teams

Reception

Our friendly reception team provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide useful 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, dealing with prescription queries, dealing with patient records, carrying out searches and practice audits.

Secretaries

Our secretaries are able to help you with your queries about referrals outside of the practice e.g. hospitals, physiotherapy etc. as well as medicals and reports that you have requested for outside agencies.

Community Midwives

Community Nurses

Health Visitors

A health visitor is a registered nurse who has received training particularly related to babies, children and pregnant women. Their role is to provide families with children under five years old with support and advice around the general aspects of mental, physical and social wellbeing. Our health visitors are assisted by a nursery nurse and student health visitors.

Training practice

Our Practice is approved by the University of Newcastle upon Tyne as a Training Practice. Fully qualified hospital doctors who have decided to specialise in General Practice join us for a period of 6 to 12 months as part of their further training and will assist the partners within the practice. We regard their special skills and expertise as valuable assets to the practice. As a training practice the medical records of our patients may be used for teaching and may also be examined by external assessors. All patients have the right to withhold their records if they so wish. If you do not wish your records to be used please let us know.

You also have a right to decide if you wish to be involved in any training in the practice, e.g. have students in attendance during your consultations, or having a video taken of your consultation that will later be used for training purposes. If you do not wish to be involved please tell us – we don’t mind. You will, in any event, be requested to sign a form to say that you are/are not prepared to take part in any such activities at the time. All recordings are strictly confidential.
