There is a district nursing team attached to the practice who provide home nursing services when necessary. They work closely with the doctors and practice nurses.

We have health visitor(s) attached to the practice. They hold baby clinics at Coram Green on a Wednesday afternoon between 2.00 - 4.00pm for weighing and to discuss feeding and the general welfare of children under five.

The community midwife attached to the practice assists the doctors in providing maternity medical services.

The district nurses, health visitors and midwife are employed by the Primary Care Trust, not by the practice.

The practice employs a secretary and six receptionists/clerical staff. All our receptionists have undergone extensive training. They have a lot of information to hand and will often be able to answer your questions without reference to a doctor. You can rest assured that the rules of confidentiality apply equally to all practice staff.
