Practice Staff

Practice Manager

Liz Stewart is responsible for the day-to-day running of the practice. She will be happy to discuss any non-medical problems that you may have and also receive any suggestions for improving the services offered. In Liz’s absence, please contact Deputy Practice Manager, Hannah Richardson, who will be able to help you.

Administration and Reception Staff

The partners employ two medical secretaries and six medical receptionists who are fully trained to deal with your needs. They make appointments, take messages, arrange repeat prescriptions, book home visits and inform patients of test results, where appropriate, when the doctors have seen and approved them. In order to obtain the best possible service they may sometimes need to judge the urgency of your request by asking a few questions. Please rest assured that the rules of confidentiality apply to all practice staff.
