Our office staff provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial point of contact for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. GP Surgery administrators make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.

All prescriptions (repeats (with 4 working days notice at present) and from consultations (instant) are filled by our very experienced dispensers, with no need to visit a pharmacy. In addition to their great skill and conscientiousness, we have invested in computer systems to ensure accurate dispensing. At times, they are very busy and need to concentrate, so we ask for your patience if there are any delays.

Repeat prescriptions can be collected -

11am to 1pm and 3pm to 6pm

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday

and

11am to 12 noon

Wednesday

If you have had an appointment in the Practice with a GP and a prescription was issued during your consultation, please take a seat in the waiting room and the Dispensary Manager will call your name when your prescription is ready.
