MANAGEMENT
STAFF
The practice
has two managers: Lynn Simons who runs the main reception and office
and Julie Stannard who runs the administration and computers.
Together
they lead a large team of receptionists, secretaries and other admin
staff who work very hard behind the scenes to ensure the smooth running
of the practice.
The receptionists are there to help you. They
work hard to try to keep both the doctors and the patients happy:
a difficult job! If, therefore, you are kept waiting or asked one
or two questions, do understand that they are only doing their job
to help the smooth running of the practice.
The managers would
be happy to receive any comments or compliments about the practice.
Complaints can also be discussed with them.
GP
TRAINING
The
practice is an approved general practitioners training practice. This
means that we quite often have an extra doctor or two in the practice.
These are fully qualified doctors who have already spent time working in a hospital,
but need to spend an extra year in general practice as part of their
training to become a GP. You may sometimes be offered appointments
with them or have them visit you as the emergency doctor on duty.
We would ask you to accept and treat them as you would any other doctor
in the practice.
UNDERGRADUATE
TRAINING
The practice has links with Brighton & Sussex
Medical School. Medical students from this school visit the practice
to learn about medicine in primary care. The students sit in and observe
consultations and undertake consultations under supervision. The practice also has student nurse placements.
We
are very grateful for your co-operation in this vital aspect of medical
education.

DISTRICT
NURSE HOURS OF DUTY
The district
nursing service aims to provide skilled nursing care and support for
patients and families in their own homes. They only visit those who
are housebound.
How To Contact The District Nurse
Please telephone 514870 ext 6017.
Assessment Of Needs
The district nurse will always try to make contact
with patients or carers within 24 hours from the time of referral
and make arrangements to visit and carry out a full nursing assessment.
The district nurse may liaise with, or refer patients to, other voluntary
or statutory services in order to give the appropriate quality care
that is necessary.
The aim is to enable people to stay at home,
if this is their wish, rather than admission to hospital or a nursing
home, unless medical opinion dictates otherwise.
The district
nurse works closely with the GP, but you can make contact directly
for advice on any aspect of home care.
If you need help with
bathing or personal hygiene, contact social services on Eastbourne
532237.
Hours of Duty
Staff work from 8.30am
to 5.00pm with emergency cover at the weekends. Every effort will
be made by the district nurses to establish regular visiting times.
Allowances
need to be made for emergency treatments and traffic problems. There
is also an evening and night service available for patients in the
Eastbourne area, depending on need.
HEALTH
VISITORS
Health visitors are all registered
nurses with special training and experience in child and family health,
health promotion and education.
They are here for everyone:
