GP Registrars
GP registrars are fully qualified
doctors undertaking within the practice under the supervision of one of the GP
trainers the final year of a three-year postgraduate GP training course leading
to the MRCGP qualification. During this time as part of their assessment they
are required to video a number of consultations and the co-operation of patients
with this is much appreciated. If you would prefer not to have the consultation
recorded please inform the doctor or the receptionist.
GP registrars change annually, or may be on an accelerated six-month placement.
Medical Students
Medical students from St George's and King's College Hospitals occasionally sit in with the GPs or may take a medical history from patients before they are seen by the doctor. This is part of their undergraduate training but if you would prefer not to have a student present please tell the doctor or receptionist.
The Practice Nurses
There is a team of part-time practice
nurses, Sisters Jane Hull, Marie O'Sullivan, Janey Carpenter
and Sarah England. In addition to all the usual nursing skills they have all
undertaken further specialised training in a number of fields and play a key
role in their management and treatment of the following:
| Asthma | Smoking Cessation | |
| Diabetes | Smears | |
| Hypertension | Childhood and Adult Vaccinations | |
| Coronary Heart Disease | Foreign Travel Advice and Vaccinations | |
| COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) | Leg Ulcers and Wounds (excluding suturing) | |
| Cerebrovascular Disease (Strokes and TIAs) | Diet, Weight Control and Exercise | |
| Peripheral Vascular Disease | Ear Syringing |
The practice nurses also carry out new patient, well man and over 75
health checks. Because of the different specialities of individual nurses and
length of relevant appointment time required and to avoid a wasted visit, it
is important when making an appointment with one of the nurses to state the reason
for the appointment.
