The Practice team are the administrators of the Practice. They will be able to help with any administrative or non-medical aspects of your healthcare and are also available to discuss any suggestions or complaints.
Receptionists
Our receptionists have first contact with the patients. It is their job to help and advise you within the guidelines laid down by the Doctors and the Managers. They are fully trained and operate within a strict code of confidentiality. The more detail you give them of your requirements, the better they will be able to provide the service you will need.
Medical Secretaries
We have four secretaries who deal with a vast amount of day-to-day secretarial and administrative work for the Practice.
Practice Nurses
We have several Practice Nurses who see patients on an appointment system from Monday to Friday. They work closely with the Doctors and are able to advise on various health problems. As well as performing general nursing duties such as changing dressings, removing stitches and ear syringing, they also run specialist clinics for those with asthma, diabetes and hypertension. Further clinics are planned including family planning and HRT clinics. They also carry out adult and child immunisations, cervical smears and give advice on travel-related health issues. An appointment can be made via the receptionists.
Nurse Practitioners
Our three Nurse Practitioners work very closely with the Duty Doctor. They are qualified to Degree Level and provide outstanding levels of care in our duty clinics and across the practice in general.
District Nurses
There are several attached Community Nurses who care for the patients confined to their homes and requiring nursing assistance.

Midwives
We have a number of Community Midwives attached to the Practice to provide maternity services to our patients.
Health Visitors
Health Visitors are experienced, specialised trained nurses who promote health and prevent ill-health, primarily with babies and children.
Physiotherapy
We have Physiotherapists who hold daily sessions organised across the Practice, generally referred through your GP. See here for more details.
Counsellor
Practice based Counsellors will see patients at Crookhorn, Paulsgrove, Cosham and Kingston Crescent, organised through your GP.
GP Registrars
Our Practice is a teaching Practice. Our Registrars are fully-qualified Doctors who have chosen General Practice as the career they wish to pursue. They spend one year with us and are closely supervised by Doctors to ensure that they are able to provide care of the same standard as that provided by your Doctor.
Foundation Year Doctors
As part of our training commitment, we also have "FY2" Doctors in our surgeries. These Doctors are not yet fully qualified and join us typically for 3 months as part of their training rotation.
Medical Students
We also teach medical students. A medical student may be present while you are having a consultation with your Doctor. You will always be told if a student is going to be present. If you wish to see the Doctor alone, please tell the receptionists and nobody will take offence!
