The practice manager is involved in managing all of the business aspects of the practice such as making sure that the right systems are in place to provide a high quality of patient care, human resources, finance, patient safety, premises and equipment and information technology. The practice manager supports the GPs and other medical professionals with delivering patient services and also helps to develop extended services to enhance patient care.

We have a team of reception staff to help you with enquiries and to make appointments.  They run the practice as they are instructed, so if you are not satisfied with the help or suggestions they give, or if you have any other comments to make on the care that we provide, please feel free to talk or write to the practice manager or one of the doctors.
