You may consult any doctor within the practice. The doctors provide medical, contraceptive, child health surveillance, maternity medical and minor surgery services.

The partners employ salaried GPs.

We also employ at various times within the practice an assistant doctor or locum doctors during holidays or sickness.

Whilst the practice will endeavour to comply with the right of patients to express a preference of practitioner, this might not always be possible and if that were the case, an explanation would be offered.

The reception staff have a thankless task. They have to organise the doctors and other professional staff, deal with demanding and sometimes distressed patients and look cheerful and sound pleasant all at the same time. They always try hard to be calm, efficient and helpful.

If they've succeeded, tell them! If they haven't, tell the manager!
