Teaching and Training
The practice is committed to training and education. We are a fully approved training practice for GPs completing their training - the GP registrars who will spend a year working with us are fully trained doctors who have already worked for at least three years in hospitals before entering general practice. We also teach medical students from Imperial College Medical School. We do ask for your help and co-operation in this area, but if you feel you would prefer not to have a medical student sitting in during your consultation, your request to see the doctor alone will be accepted without question. Occasionally we video-record consultations for teaching purposes and to provide us with feedback on our consultation skills. However, this would only be done with your prior knowledge and consent.
Our Reception Team
Our Practice Manager is there to ensure that the practice runs smoothly and all our patients get timely and appropriate access to a health care professional most appropriate to their needs. She is supported by a fully trained reception team - they are there to help you and are acting on instructions from their manager and the partners in the practice. Please help them by understanding the problems they sometimes face when trying to please everybody. Please be assured that any information discussed with them is strictly confidential.
The Practice Nurses
Our practice nurse is fully qualified in all the traditional nursing skills including dressings, stitch removal, injections, travel vaccinations, cervical smear tests and ear syringing.
She is also specially trained in the care of problems such as diabetes, asthma, blood pressure, wound management, ulcers and contraception. The nurses are supported by a trained health care assistant and phlebotomist (person who takes blood samples).
The District Nurses
The district nursing team is managed by a senior nurse who is supported by a team of 3-4 fully trained community nurses. The team provides high quality nursing care for housebound people.
Important roles they fulfill include:
- Caring for the dying patient at home
- Promotion of continence
- Management of patients with leg ulcers and wound care
- Management of medication
- Carer support
- Pre- and post-operative management
- Rehabilitation after hospital admission

The Health Visitor
The practice has an attached health visitor with her own office in the surgery. She has expertise in all aspects of the care and development of babies, in particular with feeding problems, and children up to the age of five years. The baby clinic (first and third Wednesday of the month - afternoons) is run by the health visitor in conjunction with Dr Chua. The health visitor can visit families at home if necessary.
The direct contact telephone number for the health visitor is 020 7795 8400.
Counselling/Psychology Treatment
