At The Peaseway Medical Centre there are:
 

  • 5 GPs,

  • GP Registrars - As we are a training practice you may also be booked in with a GP Registrar who are fully qualified and  GMC registered doctors that have decided to specialise in General Practice. We would encourage you to consult with them to help them with their training experience.

  • 4 Nurse Practitioners who are Highly Trained Specialist Nurses who can diagnose, prescribe and refer you to hospital if necessary.

  • We also have a number of nurses and health care assistants (HCAs) who can be on duty to see patients mornings, afternoons and during the evening every day. 

  • If you are a registered patient you can be seen by any of the above clinicians – you do not need to ask to see 'your own'  GP.

  • Please make an appropriate request.  If a nurse can deal with your problem then please do not try to see a GP. 

​

  • If in doubt please ask for help – and remember, advice can often be obtained over the telephone.
