Who are Healthcare Professionals?

We have a variety of different qualified healthcare professionals working at our surgery as part of the Primary Care Network (PCN). There are pharmacists, paramedics, social prescribers, mental health practitioners and more!

It is not always necessary to see a GP, and there can sometimes be long waits for a GP appointment. Our effective team of Healthcare Professionals are here to help give patients advice and reassurance. The GP's have designed a signposting protocol which our reception team use. This helps to ensure that patients are given appropriate appointments and it frees up GP appointments.
