All reception and clerical staff work hard to achieve a professional and efficient service for the patients and the GPs and adhere to a strict code of confidentiality.

ATTACHED STAFF AND LOCAL SERVICES

These include dietitian, district nurses, health visitors, midwives, school nurse, community psychiatric nurse, counsellor(s) and a chiropodist.

Our referrals are split between The Princess Alexandra NHS Trust, Essex & Herts NHS Trust and The Forest Healthcare NHS Trust.

Our community nursing staff are contracted from Essex & Herts Community NHS Trust. In Loughton the Rectory Lane Clinic and Forest Medical Centre offer our patients phlebotomy, physiotherapy, midwifery, x-ray, health visitor and outpatients services.

TRAINING PRACTICE

As well as the GPs above, we will from time to time have three or four qualified doctors working at the surgery in their final year of GP training. On first joining the practice they will sit with the doctors and then run their own surgeries. These doctors stay with the practice for 6-12 months and will then take up positions as GPs. Our reception staff will be happy to inform you if the doctor you are to see is one of our registrars.
