Trainees

This Practice is part of the Derbyshire GP Specialty Training Programme, which provides training for our future GPs. These doctors spend time in general practice at various stages throughout their final 3 years of training, ranging from a 4 month placement in each of the first four years, to a 12 month placement in their final year. The trainees are closely supervised at all times by our current partners.

Nurses

Practice nurses are qualified and registered nurses. They can help with health issues such as family planning, healthy living advice, 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.

Reception

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.
