GP Registrar
A GP registrar is a qualified doctor who is furthering their training within the field of general practice, preparing for a career as a general practitioner.
If you’re seen by a GP registrar at you’re still being seen by a qualified doctor, just one that hasn’t fully completed their GP training yet.
Their role involves providing primary care services to patients under the indirect supervision of a qualified GP.
They essentially do the same job as a normal GP, but will just be able to ask questions to another GP should they come across a particularly tricky case they’re not sure how to manage.
A GP registrar is responsible for diagnosing and treating various medical conditions, offering preventative healthcare advice, and managing long-term health conditions.

Nurses
The nurses are available by appointment for various treatments, health promotion advice and screening, including smears, immunisations and vaccinations.
The nurses are qualified to advise and treat many minor conditions and it may prove quicker to see a Practice Nurse than wait for a consultation with your doctor, who is always available if you have any cause for concern.
When booking an appointment with a nurse, our reception staff may need to ask you the reason for an appointment in order to determine how much time to allocate. Consultations are by appointment.
Healthcare Assistants
Our healthcare assistant is not qualified as a nurse but has undergone training to enable her to take bloods, blood pressure, assist with minor surgery, ear syringing, influenza vaccinations and new patient health checks that do not involve medication and various other services.
All requests for blood tests must be made through one of the doctors or nurses.
