Assistant Doctors
NOT ALL PROBLEMS NEED A DOCTOR!
At our GP surgery, we’re here to support you with your health. We know that lots of people make appointments to see a doctor, but we also have other people who can help. They work together with our doctors to find the best way to help you. These helpers include people like clinical pharmacists, social prescribers, nurses, physio’s and counsellors. Our receptionists may make an appointment for you with one of these clinicians.
If we think that somewhere else can help you, we’ll try to find the right place for you. This could mean that you might see someone in a different place, like an urgent care centre, a specially trained NHS optician or a community nurse. So, when you contact us – whether it’s online, in person, or on the phone – our team will find the most appropriate service or health professional to help you with your health concerns.
If you need advice on health matters please try and look up advice on the NHS website, or call 111 for advice https://www.nhs.uk/
