Reception

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.

Community Midwives

Pregnant women have a wide choice between five hospitals and midwife led delivery centres, where they may deliver or alternatively may choose to deliver at home. We have the support of two midwives, Sr. Karen Monaghan and Sr. Judy Aitken. They run ante-natal classes in the practice together with the doctors. They also organise parent craft classes and will visit mum’s at home after delivery offering advice and monitoring progress.

Community Nurses

District Nurses are community based nursing teams that supervise post-operative care, change of dressings and help to maintain independence in the community. They are based at the Chase Hospital, Bordon. Tel: 01420 488801.

Health Visitors

The Health Visitors are available in the Chase Hospital (01420 488801) and offer advice and support for children’s health and development. They run regular clinic in the Chase hospital.
