We are recognised as a training practice for doctors entering a career in General Practice. Our registrars work as part of the practice team and will provide General Medical Services to our patients with some supervision. Our GP Registrars are Dr Ewen Cameron GPST3 Dr Andrew Hayburn GPST3 Dr Megan Cameron GPST1

The practice provides an integrated nursing service with close liaison between practice nurses working at the health centre and district nurses who see patients at home. The services the nurses provide are nursing, advice on health promotion and preventative medicine. Nurses are able to advise you if they feel your problem is within their training and competence. Treatment Room nurses offer routine procedures such as wound dressing, stitch removal, ear syringing and blood sampling.

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.

Our 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.

The team comprises of Diane, Susan, Nan, Clare and Ally who will be your first point of contact with the practice. They endeavour at all times to be friendly and helpful. We believe their role is vitally important and ask them to work at all times within the strict guidelines laid down by the practice and its policies. The receptionist may ask a few questions regarding your illness in order to make sure the appointment you make is appropriate to your needs and with the right person. You have the right to decide who you disclose information to and our staff are trained to respect this. The receptionists also deal with the ordering and collection of repeat prescriptions.
