Some of the nurses are able to prescribe in their areas of expertise. The receptionists can advise you which team member to book with.
Practice Management
Our practice manager and deputy practice manager take care of the organisation and administration of the practice. If you have any helpful ideas or suggestions concerning the running of the practice, they will be delighted to receive them.

Social Prescibers
Social prescribing involves helping patients to improve their health, wellbeing and social welfare by connecting them to community services. Recognising that people’s health and wellbeing are determined mostly by a range of social, economic and environmental factors, social prescribing seeks to address people’s needs in a holistic way. It also aims to support individuals to take greater control of their own health. Patients who could benefit from social prescribing include people with mild or long-term mental health problems, people with complex needs, people who are socially isolated and those with multiple long-term conditions who frequently attend either primary or secondary health care. Speak to your GP about the referral.
