William Golding

Healthcare assistants support practice nurses with their daily work and carry out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement and new patient checks. They may act as a chaperone when a patient or doctor requests one.

Practice Management

The practice manager is involved in managing all of the business aspects of the practice such as making sure that the right systems are in place to provide a high quality of patient care, human resources, finance, patient safety, premises and equipment and information technology. The practice manager supports the GPs and other medical professionals with delivering patient services and also helps to develop extended services to enhance patient care.

Administration

There is a practice finance officer who holds the purse strings, pays the bills and makes sure the staff get paid at the end of the month!

The practice is fully computerised. When there is a problem with the computers, a team of individuals must be able to sort them out with as little disruption as possible to the day-to-day running of the surgery.

The medical secretaries are the link between the GPs and the hospital specialists. They arrange outpatient appointments and update the specialist for patients who are under regular review. They also provide reports to solicitors and insurance companies and letters for patients.

The administrative team are the people ensuring that all your medical details are entered accurately on to the computer system. They provide invaluable assistance in ensuring that all clinicians are able to view up to date medical information all of the time.

Reception

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic 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 and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.

Community Midwives

Our midwives are fully qualified general nurses who have extensive training and experience with all matters concerning pregnancy and care of the new-born. They have an office at the Alfred Bean Hospital. They can advise you on all aspects of maternity care. They run parent craft classes, antenatal clinics and postnatal groups.

Community Nurses

There are four senior district nurses attached to the practice. They lead a nursing team which is comprised of registered general nurses, district enrolled nurses and nursing auxiliaries. This team works alongside the GPs, practice nurses, health visitors and specialist nurses as well as social services and voluntary organisations.

You can leave a message for the district nurses Monday to Friday, 09:00 - 16:00 on 01377 208759 (answer machine). If you need a district nurse at the weekend please ring the above number and leave a message.

When you first see the district nurse, a care plan will be drawn up with you to assess your needs. This care will be given by the nursing team. However, if your needs cannot be met by them they will refer you to other agencies or give you advice about where to go for help.

The district nursing service is provided for a wide range of people who are housebound, with different needs and can assist with the following:
