Practice Staff
Practice Manager
Our manager, Heather Lovatt, handles our administration and finance, service planning, policies and
procedures.
Surgery Manager
Maureen Tyrrell manages our team of receptionists and organises all the day to day functions of the
surgery.
Receptionists
Our team of receptionists will be happy to register you and your family, assist you in making appointments
with any of the clinical team, deal with repeat prescriptions and answer as many of your questions as
possible. They do a difficult job very well. Please remember that if you do need to be kept waiting or seem
to be asked one or two irritating questions, they are only carrying out our instructions to them to help the
practice run smoothly. They try to keep both the patients and the doctors happy. This is not easy - please
be patient!
Practice Nursing Team
Caroline Foster, Jennie Stone and Linda Morris form our strong practice nursing/nurse practitioner team. Nurse practitioners can diagnose and treat many minor illnesses and diseases in addition to provision of health promotion and disease monitoring. Jennie has extended her skills with the addition of a diabetes diploma to aid the management of diabetes within the practice and all our nurses are able to prescribe medication.

Nurse Practitioner
Caroline Foster |

Between them, our nurses run asthma, COPD, diabetes, heart disease, travel advice, baby immunisation clinics and, of course, seasonal
'flu' clinics. The full range of specialist clinics run by our nurses and doctors is listed on
the clinics page of this website.
District Nurses
Patients who are confined to their homes and who need nursing assistance may arrange with their doctors for
a community nurse to call. The hospital will normally arrange for a nurse to call on patients discharged
early and who still require nursing treatment at home.
Health Visitors
Our health visitors can give advice on health care, particularly for expectant mothers and small
children. If you have a problem affecting your health they can put you in touch with sources of help. To
contact them phone 01784 883638 or 883636.
Students
We are fortunate to have medical students attached to our practice for short periods. If you do not wish to
have the student present during your consultation, please inform the reception staff prior to seeing the
doctor.
