Doctors
All the doctors are fully qualified and trained GPs having undergone several years’ medical training and varying years of general practice experience. Their expertise lies in the general knowledge they have concerning all aspects of medicine.
If they believe your condition requires further investigation or a confirmed diagnosis they will ask you to undergo tests at the surgery or refer you to a hospital consultant.

GP registrars
The surgery is a GP training practice and as such trains qualified doctors with the necessary additional knowledge and skills in order to become a general practitioner. These doctors have completed their medical studies and having qualified have chosen to pursue a career as a GP.
A GP registrar remains with the surgery for 12 months and will see patients and undertake duties similar to those of the surgery doctors. As a consequence, you may be offered an appointment with a GP registrar.
The surgery strongly supports the role of the GP registrar; however, patients do have the right to request not to take part in medical training consultations.

District nurses
Patients who require nursing care and are housebound due to illness or infirmity, are seen by a nurse from the district nursing team. District nurses are registered nurses, specially trained to provide high standards of care in the community and work closely with practice clinicians in carrying out a variety of treatments including dressings, injections, general and terminal nursing, advice and support.
District nurses are not employed by the practice but by the local Primary Care Trust (PCT) and adhere to the PCT’s policies and procedures.
Contact the district nursing team by telephoning them on 0118 949 5083 between 9am and 4pm, Monday to Friday or at other times via the out of hours service.

Phlebotomist/healthcare assistant
Blood tests are carried out by our fully trained phlebotomist or a nurse at one of our phlebotomy clinics.
Community physiotherapist
Your doctor may refer you to the NHS physiotherapist for treatment or management of any muscular or skeletal/joint complaints. The physiotherapist is able to provide education on posture, advice and exercises and treatment using various manipulation techniques. This can often mean you are able to successfully manage a condition without the need for any invasive operation or achieve a full rehabilitation following surgery.
The community physiotherapist is not employed by the practice, however, appointments are available on a Tuesday at the surgery and this allows us to have an excellent working relationship with the physiotherapist which greatly benefits patients. These appointments are made by the physiotherapy team at Wokingham Hospital and not the surgery.
Community midwife
Midwives are no longer linked to the GP Surgery. Please contact the hospital of your choice, click on Maternity on their website and complete their online referral form. (Self-Referral)
