GP Registrars
Our GP Registrars are fully qualified doctors who have already worked for several years in Hospitals and are completing their training prior to becoming full-time General Practitioners. They provide care of the same standard provided by the other doctors at Talbot Medical Centre at all times. GP Registrars are usually with us for six months or a year and many of our permanent doctors previously worked as Registrars at the practice.
Nurse Practitioners/Emergency Care Practitioners
Our emergency surgery is run by our excellent Advanced Nurse Practitioner/Emergency Care Practitioner team.
Nurses
Our practice nurses are an excellent team who are trained not only in general nursing but also in family planning and independently managing many chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, COPD and asthma.
Healthcare Assistants
Our wonderful team of Healthcare Assistants carry out most of our Long Term Condition reviews as well as most nursing appointments.
Community Nurses
Community Nurses provide nursing care and treatment for people with complex, long-term conditions in their own homes. Our community nursing teams support house-bound residents with a wide range of mental and physical health needs, from wound management and diabetes to kidney failure and heart or lung conditions.
