We are committed to providing safe, effective, and compassionate healthcare, helping patients manage their health and improve their quality of life.

Management Team

The GP Manager ensures the efficient operation of the practice by overseeing daily activities and enhancing patient care and experience. Rosie leads and manages the healthcare teams, handles budgets and financial compliance, ensures adherence to regulatory standards, and drives continuous improvement initiatives to maintain the highest quality of care.

Plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of the practice. Their responsibilities include managing daily administrative tasks, coordinating appointments and rotas and maintaining patient records. They support the Administration team by handling correspondence and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Administration Team

Our administration team supports the entire practice with tasks like secretarial work, scanning, and coding correspondence into patient records and prescription clerk duties. They also ensure that patients with long-term conditions are called in annually for reviews and necessary tests.

Patient Advisors

Our trained patient advisors are here to help, whether you need to make appointments or have administrative questions. The receptionists are usually your first contact with the practice and will do their best to assist you. Providing more information will help them assist you better. If they can’t answer your question, they’ll find someone who can.

We take confidentiality very seriously, and our staff always maintains it at the highest level. Remember, they have a challenging job, and if they ask for more details, it’s to help the doctor understand how urgent your request is.
