High Street Surgery

THE DOCTORS

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 this were the case, an explanation would be offered.

PRACTICE STAFF

Practice Manager

Mrs Tina Gibbons is the practice manager and she is responsible for the administration of the practice. She would be happy to hear your views and suggestions about the service offered by the practice.

Reception Staff

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!

Clerical Staff

The clerical staff have an important role behind the scenes. They deal with referrals, repeat prescriptions, filing, insurance reports, smear results etc, and generally ensure the smooth running of the practice.
All our staff are trained in keeping all information about you strictly confidential.
