CHAPERONES
A chaperone is a friend, relative or member of staff who will accompany a patient, at their invitation, during an intimate examination. The request for a chaperone should be made at the time of booking an appointment. If a chaperone is needed during a consultation, without prior arrangement, patients will be asked to make another appointment.
PRACTICE MANAGER
Simon Bardsley
Speak to Simon if you have administrative problems or wish to make any suggestions, comments, compliments or complaints about the services provided by the practice, please ask to speak to the practice manager.
MEDICAL STUDENTS
All the partners are designated tutors to fourth year medical students. When students are with a doctor a notice is displayed and the receptionist will inform you. Students benefit by contact with our patients during consultations but will willingly withdraw on request.
RECEPTION
Receptionists cover the surgery hours at all times, their job being to ease the flow of patient/doctor/nurse consultations so as many patients as possible can be seen within the working day. Should you call in to make an appointment or with an enquiry, the reception staff can arrange this in privacy if you wish.
ADMINISTRATION
Administrative staff work "behind the scenes" using one of the largest medical computer systems available to general practice to ensure accurate record keeping and patient care, eg - exemption claims, insurance medicals, hospital appointments and referrals, registrations etc.
