Our Team

Medical Practice Staff

We have a team of experienced doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals who are committed to providing you with the highest standard of care and treatment.

Each patient has a named accountable GP who oversees their care.   While our Partners and Salaried GPs are routinely in Practice on the days stated, please note that this is subject to holidays or sickness. 

Remote GP Appointments via LIVI

When booking a routine appointment, you may be offered a video consultation with a LIVI GP.

  • Speed: LIVI appointments are often available within a few days.
  • Security: LIVI GPs have full, secure access to your NHS medical records just like our in-house staff.
  • For more information, read our LIVI Remote GP Service Guide.

Nursing Team

Our Nursing team are actively engaged in health education and disease prevention and is always happy to discuss this with you. Our nurses can offer advice on smoking, diet, weight, exercise, travel, immunisations, contraception, and well-person and health checks.

Often, seeing an Advanced Nurse Practitioner or Nurse Practitioner means you can be diagnosed and treated much quicker than waiting for a GP appointment!

Clinical Pharmacists

Practice Clinical Pharmacists are highly qualified medication experts who work directly within our clinic team to ensure your medicines are safe, effective, and tailored to you. What they do: Instead of dispensing medicine in a high street pharmacy, clinical pharmacists see patients directly. They conduct thorough medication reviews, support patients managing long-term conditions (like high blood pressure or asthma), adjust dosages, and answer complex questions about side effects.

AMANDA JAMES

Practice Management Team

Our Practice Management team works behind the scenes to keep the surgery running smoothly, safely, and efficiently. They handle the essential day-to-day operations of the clinic—managing everything from staff scheduling and building maintenance to finance, IT systems, and strict regulatory compliance. By overseeing the business and administrative side of the practice, they ensure our medical team can focus entirely on what matters most: delivering high-quality care to you and your family.
