PRACTICE STAFF
Our practice manager will be able to help you with any non-medical or administrative aspects of your health care. If you have any suggestions or complaints, please ask to see her. Our team of receptionists have been specifically trained to help you. Their job is often difficult, but if you tell them clearly what you require they will do their best to help. Our team of dispensers are there to provide medicines for our rural patients. They can usually help with queries about your prescriptions and will arrange for medicines to be collected at the Village Halls.
