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 five part-time receptionists who will help you to get the best from the many services we offer.

Our medical secretaries help us communicate with hospitals, other doctors and many other agencies on your behalf. Three part-time administrators handle our accounts, supplies and operational reporting.

Our team of dispensers are here to help with all your medication queries.

The Practice is approved for training of Doctors in General Practice prior to taking on a general practice in their own right As a training practice we welcome qualified doctors who are at various stages of their training to be based with us in general practice for periods between 4 months and 1 year. Some of these doctors will be heading towards a career in hospital specialities and others to become GP's. Whilst they are with us, they will be closely supervised by our GP's. We are also often joined by medical students from Southampton Medical School. They will be in their final three years of their medical study.

Our practice nurses perform a full range of general nursing tasks within the practice, along with chronic disease management and reviews, and give advice on all health issues.

Healthcare assistants support practice nurses with their daily work and carry out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement and new patient checks. They may act as a chaperone when a patient or doctor requests one.

Provision for expectant mothers is given in our antenatal clinics, and in the home for newly delivered mothers and their babies. The midwife is employed by the PCT.
