Practice Staff
Our staff will treat you with respect at all times. We request that they receive the same respect from visitors and callers to the practice.
Practice Manager
Our Practice Manager is responsible for non-medical aspects of healthcare and practice administration. Any comments, suggestions or complaints should be referred to the Practice Manager.
Business Manager
Our Business Manager is responsible for all the Financial Accounting for the Practice.
Practice Nurses
Our nurses at Balance Street run the treatment rooms and provide traditional nursing duties. These include cervical cytology, family planning, dressings, immunisations, travel advice, suture removals. They also provide chronic disease clinics including Diabetes, Healthy Heart and Hypertension.
Health Care Assistants
Our Health Care Assistants provide a supporting role to the clinical staff in the Health Centre. They are responsible for the taking of blood and ECG's (a heart trace) and also assist in other clinics when required.
Dispensers
Our dispensers are responsible for dispensing medication prescribed to patients living over one mile from a pharmacy. From time to time they may ask you to see your Doctor for a medication review. Please see our Dispensary page for further details of services provided.
Receptionists
Our Receptionists are there to help you and your family. They run a busy reception following the directives of the Health Centre. Any information provided to our Receptionists will remain confidential at all times.
Secretary and Administrative Support
Our Secretaries provide an important role in assisting the Doctors. They are responsible, amongst other things, for preparing referral letters, recording hospital attendances and preparation of medical reports. Our Administrative staff also ensures invites are issued to patients when required for chronic disease clinics.
Other Health Professionals
Visiting Consultants
We have consultants from local hospitals that attend the Health Centre to provide out-patient clinics.
This means that patients do not have to travel to see a consultant if you are referred by your Doctor. We currently hold fortnightly clinics with Mr Vakis, Consultant Surgeon, and are looking to expand this service to include other consultants.
