Practice Nurses
In a number of cases it might be worth considering an appointment with a practice nurse rather than a doctor. Practice nurses are qualified to deal with many ailments and you may be seen more quickly.
Medical Students
The practice sometimes has medical students sitting in during consultations. Please mention to the receptionist if you do not wish a student to be present during your consultation.
