GP Registrars

We normally have a GP registrar in the practice.

Registrars are fully qualified doctors who are gaining more experience, under supervision in order to obtain accreditation as independent GP’s. In order to gain as much different experience as possible, they usually only remain at a practice for six months at a time.

Nurse Pactitioners are able to issue prescriptions and are capable of dealing with the vast majority of conditions which arise on an urgent basis including:

• acute back and musculoskeletal pains
• urinary tract infections
• vomiting and diarrhoea
• sore throats and tonsillitis
• chest infections
• ear infections
• side-effects or problems relating to contraception.

Nurse Pratitioners can refer to a GP immediately if necessary.  Please note that children under two years of age being seen in an emergency surgery must be seen by a GP, so inform the receptionist the age of the child when you call for an emergency appointment for them.

You can also see a Nurse Practitioner for things such as review appointments (as directed by GPs or NPs), diabetes clinic, or blood pressure monitoring and treatment.
