Our Wider Team Of Specialists

We now have a wider team of specialists working alongside our GPs. 

Our reception team will signpost you to the most appropriate person, depending on your issue.

Clinical Pharmacist

Our clinical pharmacist works as part of the general practice team to improve value and outcomes from medicines and consult with and treat patients directly.  Patients may be offered a structured medication review (SMR).  A structured medication review (SMR) is a patient centred review of all medications, with the aim to optimise treatment and provide better patient outcomes.  

Social Prescribing Service

We have an in-house social prescriber attached to the practice.  Social prescribing (sometimes know as community referral) works for a wide range of people including those:

  • with one or more long term conditions
  • who need support with their mental health
  • who are lonely or isolated
  • who have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing (e.g. money or debts issues, domestic abuse, housing, employment)

Suitable patients will be referred by the clinical team and our social prescriber will contact you to arrange an appointment.

First Contact Physio

We have an in-house musculoskeletal first contact practitioner (or FCP).  FCP's are trained specialists and can help patients with musculoskeletal issues such as back, neck and joint pain by:

  • assessing and diagnosing issues
  • giving expert advice on how best to manage their conditions
  • referring them to specialist services if necessary

If you contact the practice with back or joint pain, you may be booked in to see our FCP in the first instance rather than a GP.
