BBC Panorama Episode
Following on from last night's BBC Panorama episode about the UK's biggest GP chain, we wanted to reassure our patients that we do things differently from the practice portrayed in the programme.
- We have 6 partners, 4 salaried GP's and a GP retainer working across both of our sites
- Our nursing team is made up of 2 nurses, a nurse practitioner and 2 Health Care Assistants
- We also have an Advanced Paramedic Practitioner, a Clinical Pharmacist and Pharmacy Technician working alongside the GP's
- Physician Associates are complementary to the existing practice team , and are trained to take medical histories, perform physical examinations, diagnose conditions, and treat a diverse range of patients including those with acute and chronic diseases. PA's are always appropriately supervised by a GP
- We are a training practice, hosting doctors from Frimley Park, giving them the level of supervision required depending on their experience
- All of these clinicians play a critical part in helping the practice keep on top of the increased patient demand being placed on them
- We do not have 1000's of letters waiting for a GP to see them, and have a dedicated workflow team continuously monitoring and coding these onto patient records
- Our reception team are trained to signpost you to the right service and organisation for your needs
- We have a duty doctor on site each day in case of an emergency
- Safety is paramount to us and is under constant review with the partners. We are a partnership, not a commercial entity, and are run by our partners for the benefit of the local community and patients
We hope this gives you confidence that the practice on the programme, in our view, is an exception and not the sort of practice we believe we are.
