At times our receptionists will need to ask for further information in order to decide how best to help you. You may be reassured that anything they hear about or see is held in strict confidence. Nothing may be divulged to anyone outside of the surgery team, even a close relative, without your permission. The receptionists must work within surgery guidelines, so occasionally they may not be able to do exactly what you want but they will always do their best to help you. We value our staff and ask you to be courteous towards them.

Louise Heywood is our practice-attached midwife who is responsible for all aspects of maternity services including antenatal care and postnatal visiting. She runs an antenatal clinic on Wednesday afternoons and works closely with the doctors in the practice who run clinics on various days. Antenatal care is delivered in partnership with the doctors.

We have a team of experienced district nurses attached to the practice consisting of: Sister Sue Herd, Community Staff Nurses: Angie Bilboe, Mandi Capaldi, Annie Foster, Charlotte Jordan; Health Care Assistant: Lynne Evans.
