Reception

The Receptionists ease the flow of patients for the Clinicians and keep the practice running smoothly. They are here to help you. For example; they can give you results of laboratory tests and can arrange transport for hospital appointments, if eligible.

Sometimes they may need to ask for further details. They are not being nosey and are bound by the same rules of confidentiality as the Doctors and Nurses. All medical information, which is held on your behalf, is governed by the Data Protection Act and staff are vigilant in ensuring that only essential information is made known to other practice staff.

Receptionists are the engine house of the surgery, doing a wide range of administrative jobs, answering telephone calls and greeting patients at the counter. At times there may be slight delays so please be patient until they can attend to you.

Community Staff

District Nurses

The District Nursing Team provides specialist nursing to those in the community who are unable to get to the surgery for treatment such as wound care.

They are also responsible for the ongoing health care needs of housebound patients and their families with a variety of conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and liaise with other providers of care within the community.

Another large part of their role is supporting terminally ill patients who wish to be cared for in their own home. Their service also includes the promotion of continence and health education.

The District Nursing Team, employed by Derbyshire Community Health Services, are now based in Buxton and can be contacted on: 01298 212 827

Community Midwives

Community Midwives work alongside Doctors and Health Visitors to provide care for expectant mothers to help prepare for the birth and care of their babies.

Health Visitor

The Health Visitor is concerned with the health and well-being of families. Health Promotion, early detection of ill health and monitoring of normal growth and development are his/her responsibility, with particular reference to mothers, babies and the under 5’s.

The Health Visitor liaises closely with the GP’s, other members of the nursing team and professions allied to medicine, such as Social Workers, Speech Therapists and Pre-School Teacher Counsellors.

The Health Visitor has specialist knowledge of the facilities and resources available for families and children in the area.

The Health Visiting Teams are now based in different localities dependent upon which area of the Practice that you live.
