Sonia Johnson
Paramedic
Our Paramedic works with the Surgery and will often carry out home visits on behalf of the GPs.
John Palmer
Clinical Pharmacist
Our Clinical Pharmacists are here to resolve day-to-day medicine issues and consult with and treat patients directly. This includes providing help to manage long-term conditions, advising those taking multiple medicines and delivering clinical advice about treatments.
Having clinical pharmacists in GP practices means that GPs can focus their skills where they are most needed, for example on diagnosing and treating patients with more complex conditions. This helps GPs to manage the demands on their time. They are supported by our Pharmacy Technicians.
