THE PRACTICE TEAM
In order to achieve a comprehensive level of services, together with efficient running of the practice, it is important to have a co-ordinated team. This includes:
The practice development manager, Wendy Bickerstaffe, is responsible for developing the range of services provided for patients.
The practice manager, Sue Kelly, has responsibility for the staff and the day-to-day running of the practice.
The
receptionists are fully trained and have a difficult job to do. Please
remember that if you are kept waiting or are asked some apparently irritating
questions, it is because of our policy aimed at the smooth and safe running of
the practice. We need to ascertain the urgency of particular requests and sometimes
spend longer with patients than we have allowed. The receptionists deal with requests
for appointments and visits, repeat prescriptions, test results and general enquiries.
Practice nurses are mainly involved in
caring for patients with chronic illnesses, eg asthma, diabetes, hypertension
or heart disease. They are also involved in health promotion, eg dietary advice
and smoking cessation and they give travel advice and injections and assist with
minor surgery. The nurses see patients by appointment.

Our health
care assistant, Keely Riley, is available every morning and afternoon
to take blood tests and blood pressure checks and she also does health checks
on our new patients. In addition our phlebotomist Brenda Porter also takes blood
tests.
The Primary Care Trust also employ district nurses and health visitors
who work from within the Health Centre.
District
nurses provide nursing care for patients unable to leave their homes.
They also have a clinic at Ann Street for patients who are able to attend for
ear syringing, dressings and removal of stitches. The district nurses can be reached
on 0161 336 2434.
Health visitors provide health care advice to all patients, but especially to families with young
children and the elderly. The telephone number for the health visitors is 0161
320 7000.
From time to time there may be students working
in the practice alongside the practice team. They need to spend some time in general
practice as part of their training. If you are seeing a doctor or nurse who has
a student with them, you will be asked to give your consent for them to be sitting
in on your consultation. However, you have the right to refuse to have a student
present.
