THE
DOCTORS
The partners practice together as a non-limited partnership.
Hampshire Primary Care Trust also employ the health visitors, district nurses, midwife and counsellor who work from within Brook Lane Surgery.
Practice
Manager
Mrs Carolyn Hill is responsible for the administration
and running of the practice.
Practice
Receptionists
Our team of receptionists are trained and
do a difficult job well. Please remember that if you need to be kept waiting or
seem to be asked irritating questions, they are carrying out procedures aimed
at making the practice run smoothly. As with all our staff, they are bound by
the same rules of confidentiality as the doctors and nurses.
Practice
Nurses
The practice nurses can be seen by appointment.
They can remove stitches, change dressings, syringe ears, immunise babies and
children, give tetanus injections, flu vaccinations and injections for going abroad.
They are also able to take cervical smears, give contraceptive advice and run
clinics to promote healthier lifestyles.
Healthcare Assistants
The healthcare assistants can be seen by appointment. They perform ECGs and spirometry, fit and remove cardio memo and the 24-hr blood pressure monitor, remove stitches, undertake new patient medicals and support smoking cessation.
District
Nurses
We have a team of district nurses who will visit, assess and treat those patients who are too ill or frail to come to the surgery.
Health Visitors
The health visiting team support us with child and family health, working in
the home, the surgery and community clinics.
They can be contacted on 01489 554930.
Community Midwife
Our
midwife attends the antenatal clinics and visits mothers and babies during the
first 10 days after delivery.
Training Practice
Brook
Lane Surgery is a training practice and we regularly have a GP Registrar working
with us under the supervision of Dr McFarlane or Dr Ryan.
We regularly
have 3rd, 4th or 5th year medical students sitting in on consultations. You will be
asked if you find this acceptable but, if you so wish, we fully respect your right to exclude the
student from your consultation.
