If you specifically wish to see the doctor of your choice, reception staff will be happy to discuss availability and appointment times with you.
We also occasionally have locum doctors. These are doctors who cover for us whilst our permanent doctors are away on leave. They are fully qualified and experienced doctors, who are registered on the supplementary list with The Primary Care Trust. We also have GP Registrars, GPs in training and Foundation Doctors working at this practice; a GP Registrar is a fully qualified doctor who is training to be a GP. A Foundation Doctor is also fully qualified in the earlier stage of their training. A partner always supervises their work.We are a training practice and will, from time to time, have doctors, nurses and medical students learning, by sitting in on consultations, seeing our patients, or videoing consultations. Your permission will always be sought prior to the consultation. If you do not wish to have a student present during your consultation or to be videoed, please inform a member of the reception team. This will not affect your treatment in any way whatsoever.

Receptionist / Administrators
Asma Begum, Betty Murphy, Claire Stopes, Anna Horn, Kaysha Boyce and Alice Fennell.The role of medical receptionist is very responsible, sometimes difficult, often upsetting, but very rewarding. If you see staff are already dealing with a telephone call, or are busy with another patient, please be patient. We do not expect our staff to be rude to patients and will not tolerate patients being rude to members of staff
