Community Team

Practice Midwife

The Community Midwife usually visits the practice two afternoons each week and she provides most of the Ante-Natal care for our patients. If you have a positive home pregnancy test you can self refer to the midwife – please ask at reception for a form.

Community Nursing Team

We have good links with our Community Matron, District Nurses, Heath Visitors and Palliative Care Team. Although these staff are not based here at the Practice, they do attend some of our practice meetings.

Counsellor

Two counsellors from North East Counselling work in the practice. You can self-refer to them via www.necounselling.org.uk

Training

We are a training practice, this means we have GP Registrars working with us. GP Registrars are fully qualified doctors undertaking further  training to become GPs. The Registrars have their own surgeries but can seek advice and guidance from one of the other GPs if required

Our Practice Nursing Team
