Our GPs are required to see our patients with complex health care needs and ongoing un-resolving problems. They work closely with all the other Health Professional teams. Each patient has an allocated named GP, this GP will support in coordinating patients’ care if they have a significant health care requirement. We would encourage you to remain with an individual GP, if possible, for continuity of care. Our GPs also carry out postnatal checks, baby checks, medicals, minor operations, joint injections, contraceptive coils and implants. We are also a Training Practice and regularly have fully qualified doctors who are training to be General Practitioners.
