Paramedics

Paramedics are a vital part of the general practice team.  Working alongside our oncall team of Doctors and Nurse Practitioners they come out and visit housebound patients who have become unwell, in order to provide a quick assessment of their condition and support the clinicians on call in making the best decision for each patient's immediate and urgent care needs.  When in the practice, they can also see and treat the same conditions as our Acute Illness nurses, namely new onset infections, rashes etc.

Nurse Practitioners are able to diagnose and prescribe illness in a similar way to doctors and can care for patients with most acute illnesses. A large proportion of the practice's appointments which are available to book on the day will be with a nurse practitioner. Such appointments are ideal for patients with recent onset of symptoms and doctors are always on hand should their advice be needed.

Practice Nurses can help with health issues such as family planning, healthy living advice, vaccinations, blood pressure checks and dressings. The practice nurses run clinics for long-term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes, minor ailment clinics and carry out cervical smears.

Senior Management Team

The Practice's senior management seeks to ensure that the right systems are in place to deliver, high quality patient care, human resources, finance, patient safety, premises and equipment and information technology. They support the GPs and other medical professionals delivering patient services and manage our administrative team.  They help to put processes in place to deliver extended services identified to enhance patient care, lead the practice in matters of clinical and information governance and work collaboratively to ensure the practice can deliver high quality care to its patients.

Given the size of our organisation we have a non-clinical Managing Partner, Mr Stephen Holby, who leads in managing the business, regulatory, financial and legal  aspects of the Practice and maintaining its financial stability, and three Managers (not all full-time) who have specific areas of specialism as well as providing cross-cover for each other:-

Administration and Reception Team

Sometimes our staff may need to telephone patients to confirm certain details on behalf of the clinicians, such as prior to a referral being sent, or to pass on the response to an enquiry.

Community Midwives

If you are a patient of this practice, you can contact your midwife for non-urgent reasons by getting in touch with any of our sites. The receptionist will pass the details onto the midwives working with this practice. (For patients not registered with Carn to Coast Health Centres, please contact your own surgery who will also pass on your message to the midwives working with that practice). Messages are normally responded to by the midwives the same working day. For emergency midwifery support patients should contact the on call midwife via details on their care record pack.
