A physician associate is a crucial member of the healthcare team, working closely with doctors and surgeons to deliver comprehensive medical care. They are extensively trained to handle various responsibilities such as gathering patient medical histories, conducting physical examinations, diagnosing illnesses, providing care for individuals with chronic conditions, performing essential procedures, evaluating test results, creating management plans, and offering valuable health promotion and disease prevention advice to patients. While physician associates work under the supervision of a doctor, they are also capable of working autonomously with the appropriate support.

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.
