Our same day care is run via a structured triage service managed by our care navigators with a GP Lead and ably supported by Paramedics, Nurses, and HCAs, as well as a Medicine Management Team led by clinical pharmacists.
As a training practice we are always interested in supporting GPs with any special interests. Newly qualified GPs are offered bespoke support and mentorship, regular whole practice training sessions and peer review opportunities.
