GP Registrars and Students
Our practice is a training / teaching practice. Our registrars are fully qualified doctors and they have a great deal of hospital experience. They are attached to our practice for 12-18 months and usually become general practitioners after completing their training. When booking an appointment you may be asked if you would consult with the registrar appointed to this practice. On occasions you may be asked for permission to video record the consultation for training purposes (a signed consent form would be be required).
Intimate physical examinations would not be recorded and the camera would be switched off at any point at your request.
We take medical students on placement from Anglia Ruskin University. Each student spends four days per year at the Practice. We currently have two first year, two second year sand two third year students.
Nurse Practitioners
Advanced Nurse Practitioners are highly-trained professionals and can undertake complex reviews of patients, just like GPs. They can assess symptoms and build a picture of a patient's condition, treat minor health problems, infections, minor injuries and prescribe medication where necessary. They are also able to make referrals for patients who present with undiagnosed/undifferentiated problems.

Social Prescriber
Patients visit their GPs for a range of different reasons and sometimes these issues can be caused by non-medical matters such as loneliness, anxiety, unemployment, illness or debt.
Social Prescribers work in partnership with GP surgeries and can help people to access appropriate support in the community to help them make positive changes to your personal wellbeing.
If you would like an appointment with one of our Social Prescribers, please speak to a reception team member who will arrange for Fiona, Chelsie or Sue to contact you.
