A doctor’s reception is often a very busy and sometimes difficult environment in which to work. The receptionists employed by the practice are here to help and we would be grateful if patients could respect the reception staff at all times.

The receptionist will assist patients in the following:

• To arrange appointments
• Take requests for home visits
• Order repeat prescriptions
• Organise hospital transport as appropriate
• Inform patients of test results
• Inform patients of a time when the doctor may be free to speak to them over the telephone

The reception staff are trained to help you access our services and to ensure that the practice runs smoothly. However, please remember that they are not doctors and nurses and, whilst they work hard to help you, they may not have instant answers or solutions to all your enquiries.

The midwives provide care and advice to patients during pregnancy and after childbirth. Clinics are held in mother and baby clinics held at the Sure Start Centres. If you think you are pregnant you will need to see the doctor who will refer you to the midwife and the hospital for antenatal care.

The district nurses provide a wide range of support and services to patients, mainly in their home environment. This may range from visiting patients following discharge from hospital to long-term care for various nursing needs. The district nurses can be contacted directly on 0161 763 8525.

The health visitors are based at Ings Lane clinic and hold a baby clinic at the surgery on a Monday afternoon between 1.30 and 2.30pm - no appointment is necessary.

They will, at certain ages, invite children to attend for hearing tests and assessments to promote good health and monitor their development.
