The Practice Team
The
Doctors
The
Executive Partner is available to discuss
any queries about the running of the practice and general
services within it.
The
Receptionists are here to help you make an appointment,
take requests for visits, pass messages to the Doctors
and nurses and answer general not medical queries.
The
Practice Nurses carry out a wide range of nursing
procedures at the Health Centre. They are also specially
trained in conducting a wide variety of well-person
screening, (including the practice's cervical smears
and well person clinics) giving health promotional
advice, in monitoring some long-term medical conditions
and providing some contraceptive advice.
The
Health Visitors are general nurses with further
training in health care for all ages, but especially families
with young children. They offer a service at home or at
the health centre. They can be contacted at the centre
between 9.00am - 5.00pm Monday - Friday on 020 8237
3983/2984/2985.
The
District Nurses work with your Doctor and perform
nursing procedures in your home for anyone not able to
come to the surgery.
Teaching
For some years the practice has helped
in the teaching of medical and nursing students.
This only occurs occasionally and you will be asked for
your consent to a student being present during
a consultation. If you are unhappy about this please do
not hesitate to say so.
GP Training
Richford Gate Medical Practice is approved
as a training practice to help qualified Doctors
in the last stage of their preparation to become GP's.
Since we are involved in training, we do occasionally
use video recordings of consultations. These are
taped only with the patient's consent and are used for
very carefully controlled training purposes only.
We would be really grateful if you would consider
helping us to keep up our high standard of medical care
by agreeing to take part in a video consultation if requested.
