Who should I see at the practice?
There are a variety of Health Care professionals at the practice, GPs, Practice nurses, Doctors training to be GPs, Nurse practitioners, pharmacists…the list goes on. If you aren’t sure who is the best person to see, please speak to the receptionist. They (and all members of the practice team) are bound by the rules of patient confidentiality as the doctors and nurses The Health Board has also provided training for staff in “signposting”, so they may ask you some questions to help make sure that you have the most appropriate care from the most appropriate right health care professional at the most appropriate time
The practice has been fully approved to help introduce doctors to general practice. These fully qualified doctors work in the practice for 6 or 18 months. They do the same clinical work as the partners. Gaining this experience is compulsory for any doctor who wishes to become a GP.
We are also fortunate to have medical students attached to our practice for short periods.

So I know who I need to see, how do I request a consultation in the surgery?
At Ely Bridge Surgery we have reviewed our system many times in the past, and is something we continue to keep under review. All routine appointments with the Doctors and Nurses need to be booked via the telephone in advance.
If you need to see a nurse, please talk to a receptionist either in person or on the phone. All Nurse consultations are by appointment only.

If you feel that you have an urgent problem for the day then please ring us and let the receptionist know your symptoms and a contact number. The on call doctors will ring you back to discuss your urgent problem.

The patient has the right to express a preference to receive services from a particular GP. While the Practice will endeavour to meet this requirement, if an appointment is requested with a specific GP this may mean that the patient may need to wait a little longer.

Do you need to see a doctor today?
You can now get FREE NHS ADVICE and FREE TREATMENT for a range of common ailments from our local community pharmacists without having to make an appointment with a GP For any health professional not listed above, please ask the receptionist who will guide you on how to see them.

PLEASE NOTE IT IS THE PATIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THEIR APPOINTMENT OR LET THE SURGERY KNOW IF THEY CANNOT ATTEND SO THAT IT CAN BE RELEASED FOR ANOTHER PATIENT
