The Nurses

The Practice Team

Practice Manager - Jane Gamble FCIB, CeMAP
The practice manager looks after the day-to-day administration in the practice and co-ordinates the work of staff. She would be happy to hear your ideas and suggestions about the service offered by the practice.

Receptionists
These are your first point of contact with our practice. They will try to meet all your requirements. Please remember that if you seem to be asked one or two irritating questions, they are carrying out practice policy. They have to judge the urgency of your request so please try to help them, so they can help you.

Secretarial Support
There are two secretaries who deal with referrals to hospital and private appointments.

Nurse Practitioner
Marie White, nurse practitioner, is a registered nurse who has undertaken a specific nurse practitioner course of study to 1st degree level (honours). This nurse offers a complementary source of care to that offered by the GPs. She will be able to assess your problem and treat minor illnesses which may otherwise have been seen by the GP eg upper respiratory, eye, skin, abdomen illnesses and gynaecology, to name but a few. She is able to issue prescriptions for minor illnesses.

Counsellor

Community Matron
There is a community matron attached to our practice. She provides on-going support to patients over 65 who have been hospitalised on two or more occasions in the past and have long-term conditions. As well as carrying out home visits to such patients, she is also able to network with other NHS staff and service providers to ensure that all available support is being given.

Primary Care Trust Support Staff
There are many support staff coming into the practice that provide additional services to our patients. For instance: health visitors, midwives, district nurses, community psychiatric nurses etc. These clinicians are employed by Coventry Teaching Primary Care Trust and work closely with practice staff. Everyone working for the NHS has a legal duty to keep information about you confidential.

* Holiday vaccinations are chargeable - please see the private charges notice in the waiting area.

Health Visitor
There is a health visitor attached to the practice to give advice and monitor the health and development of children and families.

Training Practice

Broomfield Park is a training practice. At any time we may have one or two fully qualified doctors who are training to become general practitioners (registrars or foundation SHOs) working alongside the doctors. From time to time we may also have medical students working at the practice. When students are in the practice you will be informed if they are sitting in with the doctor you are due to see. The appointment may occasionally be videoed for training purposes with your consent. Should you not wish the medical student to be present please let the receptionist know immediately. There is no obligation for you to be seen with a medical student present.
