OUR ADMIN STAFF
Our Administration staff work tirelessly in the back room to keep the surgery running.
Our Patient Participation Group
We have a very active Patient Participation Group, where patients work together with the practice team to improve the Primary Care Services delivered by the surgery.
STUDENTS
The practice is involved in teaching medical students from St. George’s Hospital. We would be grateful if you would allow students to sit in on your consultation if requested, but will always respect your right to see the doctor alone if this is what you prefer. Reception staff will always ask you if you have any objections to the student’s presence prior to your consultation.
