We have a large, friendly, experienced team of Clinicians and Support Staff.
Our Clinicians
We have a range of different Clinicians at GP at Hand. Our booking system will gather some details from you to help us guide you towards the person who can help you get the care you need, first time. The Clinician you see will depend upon your symptoms.
Why you may not always see a GP
GPs care for complex and long-term health problems. However, many common conditions are also safely and effectively treated by other healthcare professionals. If your Clinician you see feels you need a GP appointment, this will be arranged for you.
Our Clinicians include:
GPs
Our GPs are highly-trained and experienced generalist Doctors. They have all worked in the NHS for a number of years and are able to examine and diagnose common illnesses, manage complex or long-term conditions, issue prescriptions and Fit Notes and make referrals to specialists. GPs are particularly skilled at managing those who are pregnant, elderly, young children, and those with a number of unrelated symptoms or conditions.
Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs)
Our Advanced Nurse Practitioners have extensive experience and training. They can examine and diagnose most common illnesses and support those with long-term conditions. If needed, they can also issue a prescription or refer you to a specialist. Many of our ANPs have specialist training in a particular area of practice.
Pharmacists
As well as managing our Repeat Prescription processes and ensuring safe and high quality prescribing practices across our service, our Pharmacists can diagnose and treat many minor illnesses. Many of our team also have specialist training in a particular area of practice such as Asthma or Diabetes. Our Pharmacists can advise you on your medications and issue prescriptions when needed.
Physiotherapists
Our Physiotherapists are experts in musculoskeletal issues. They can diagnose and treat a wide range of muscle, joint and bone problems, and aches and pains. They will set up a personalised exercise and rehabilitation programme for you, and can also refer to a specialist if needed. You can read more about our musculoskeletal services here.
