Dr Solway & Dr Mallick Practice - The doctors, nurses and other staff at our practice

Noticeboard

CARE NAVIGATOR

Healthcare has become complicated involving many disciplines; i.e. GP, A&E, 111, Physio, Link Workers, Pharmacists, NHS Choices etc. and due to increasing and changing demand we need to develop our reception staff to ensure that our patients receive the correct care from the right professional.

Our reception staff are helping us to ensure that patients are directed to the right person at the right time in the right place. To achieve this our staff will ask everyone why they want to see the doctor, nurse or health care assistant. Our reception staff are receiving training for this directional role and we hope that all our patients will support us in this change; which will benefit us all. Dr Solway

Reception

Our reception, admin and secretarial staff are invaluable members of our team they have the tremendously difficult job of making sure you see, speak to, or contact the member of the practice team you need to. They are extremely efficient in dealing with appointments, prescriptions and test results and also scan the hundreds of letters we receive each week onto the computer. In addition they provide support to the doctors and manage referrals and booking your appointments at the hospital through the computerised Choose and Book system.
