Meet the Team

Our Clinical Pharmacists play a crucial role in medication management. They work closely with our doctors to optimise drug therapy, prevent medication-related issues, and educate patients about their medications. This collaboration ensures safe and effective treatment plans.

Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) are experienced nurses with specialised training, allowing them to diagnose and treat a variety of health conditions. They provide high-quality primary care, perform physical exams, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and prescribe medications, all while emphasising a holistic and patient[1]focused approach.

Physician Associates (PAs) are highly skilled healthcare professionals who work independently, and can diagnose, investigate and provide treatment plans for patients. They can approach our GPs for advice if required. Prescribing is not within their scope of practice. As such, any prescriptions will be signed off by a Clinical Pharmacist or a GP. PAs are integral members of our team, ensuring timely and efficient patient care.

First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs) are qualified autonomous clinical practitioners who can assess, diagnose, investigate, treat and discharge a patient with any musculoskeletal complaint without a medical referral – where appropriate. They can also refer onwards for further intervention to the specialised Musculoskeletal Clinical Assessment and Treatment Service (MCATS) or to the Orthopaedic Team.

Mental Health Practitioners (MHPs) are experienced professionals who can support patients with either a diagnosed or undiagnosed mental health concern. This could be one or a number of mental health symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, loneliness, grief, hallucinations or stress.

As a training practice, our GP Trainees work as part of the clinical team. A GP Trainee is a qualified doctor who already has hospital experience and who is now undertaking specialty training for General Practice. Whilst they are with us, they are always working under the supervision of a fully trained GP. They will usually see you by themselves but will seek further advice from the supervising GP where needed.
