The practice nurses are supported by a team of nursing assistants.

We have a well-equipped treatment room, staffed by a team of dedicated and experienced district nurses. The nurses perform an invaluable function in the community, providing continuity of care to those patients who are unable to come to the surgery because of their medical condition. In addition we have a team of health visitors, school health advisors and midwives attached to the practice. These disciplines offer a considerable level of expertise to the community.
RECEPTIONISTSOur receptionists are here to help you. They may need to ask you further questions when you phone. This is merely to ensure that your enquiry is dealt with effectively and to ensure that the service is used as appropriately as possible. Please be assured that the procedures/questions/actions taken by staff have all been approved by the general practitioners. A receptionist's work is not easy and, if at times it seems that undue interrogation is occurring, do not fear! The same rules of confidentiality that govern the doctors and nurses also apply to the managers and receptionists.

OTHER MEMBERS OF THE TEAMThe practice also offers the services of a dietician, a chiropodist, a physiotherapist, a smoking cessation advisor, a mental health care team and an alcohol dependncy counsellor. Your doctor can advise you on the procedure for making use of these services.

TRAININGWe aim to provide a high quality of care and consistently strive to improve our standards. To this end, the practice maintains strong links with Liverpool University Medical School and is a training practice for General Practitioners and we often help in the education of medical students. The doctors also participate actively in a busy schedule of postgraduate education, frequently holding meetings after hours in the health centre. For this purpose the practice closes from 12 noon on the last Thursday of each month.
