Advanced Clinical Practitioners

SAMANTHA BENNETT (f)

Advanced Care Practitioners are highly trained nurses or paramedics who can independently prescribe medication, depending on your needs. They can see patients with undiagnosed problems; they can perform medical examinations, make a diagnosis, treat patients and/or refer patients. They work with patients to develop strategies to improve their health and to prevent illness through health education and counselling. They work closely with the doctors and other members of the nursing team.

Health Visitors

A health visitor is a registered nurse who has received training particularly related to babies, children and pregnant women. Their role is to provide families with children under five years old with support and advice around the general aspects of mental, physical and social wellbeing. The Health Visiting Team can be contacted on 0300 247 0040 and option 1 for the Preston area.

Training practice

We are a training practice for GP registrars and Foundation Year 2 doctors. We also undertake teaching of undergraduate medical students.

The trainees sometimes use video cameras during their consultations. You will be asked for written consent to video your consultation.

Full details will be provided at the time.

Please note that students, foundation doctors and registrars will always be supervised by a GP Partner during each session they are in the practice.

GP net earnings

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GPs working at the surgery in the last financial year before tax and National Insurance was £92,087. This is for 1 full time GP, 7 part time GPs and 2 locum GPs who worked at the practice for more than 6 months.

However, it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earning is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgment about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice.
