Receptionists

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide information on our services and make appointments with GPs and nurses. They also perform other tasks such as processing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries and test results.

We have our own Practice Pharmacists and they will review patients' medication, speak to patients with medication queries and provide support for the Practice.  The Pharmacists work closely with the GP to ensure patients are receiving the best possible outcome from medication, avoiding waste and harm.  The Practice also has a Pharmacy Technician who has a similar role to the Practice Pharmacist.

You may receive a letter from the Practice Pharmacist or Technician following a paper based medication review which has resulted in switching you from one medication to another. There can be multiple reasons for these switches including improved: Patient Safety, Medicines Compliance, Medicines Effectiveness, Long term outcomes and Cost Effectiveness for the NHS.

It you receive a letter from the Practice and would like to discuss any changes to your medication, please contact reception to arrange either a face to face or a telephone appointment with the Practice Pharmacist or Technician. 

The Practice Pharmacist can be contacted for any medication related query and if you would like a review of your medication please contact reception.

The Community Midwife holds an ante natal clinic at the Practice on a Thursday afternoon.  Appointments can be made by contacting reception.
