Staff- Comings & Goings
Our GP Registrars are doctors training in general practice
Dr Jelili Lawal is now with us as a GP registrar and is in his final stages of GP training
A Foundation Year 2 doctor, DR Sania Latif has joined us a four month placement as part of General Professional training. Doctors in training see patients
under the supervision of a Trainer, either Dr Takhar, Nally
or Hume.
Dr Cathy Jones is with us now as a GP retainer
We are expanding our Training Role and this has been the reasoning behind our recent building extension. Your appointment may be with any of
these doctors but they will be supported at all times by your
regular GP.
Reception Hours
Please note that Wansford Reception is open 8.30-
6.30 Mon-Fri, noting that on alternating Tues/Wed/Thurs we
close for staff training at 12.30.
Kings Cliffe is now open 9-12 Monday to Friday
New on-line Appointment Booking/Repeat Prescribing
Our new, 24 hour on-line service called EMIS ACCESS. You can
use it to:
Book *doctor appointments – same day – more choice
of appointment times
Order prescriptions – less admin time at our end
Update your personal details
It’s quick and easy to use but to get started you must
first register your details with Reception so that you can
be issued with a Registration letter. This will contain your
personal PIN no and Access ID to allow you internet access.
It’s obviously very important that only genuine patients
are registered so this Registration letter can only be obtained
IN PERSON at Reception
* Nurse appointments are not available on-line at present.
New Buildings – Now completed, we have added two new consultings, rooms 6 and 7 in the main building which will be used by Drs Takhar and Nally freeing up their existing rooms for use by GP trainees and Nurse Practitioners. Rooms in The Barn are are used for admin, research, echocardiograms,, complementary medicine and some specialised
clinical work, with all routine consultations continuing in
the main surgery. The Dispensary will be having a refit shortly to convert this into a Pharmacy scheduled to open June 21st 2010. Two rooms in the Barn have been allocated to Wansford Smile Studio which will operate as a private Dental practice.
For repeat prescriptions you can access
The Dispensary directly from the car park
between 9 and 5pm, with internal access both outside these
hours and if you are coming direct from a consultation with
a doctor or nurse.
Planning Ahead - Holidays – plan your
travel vaccinations ideally 1-2 months before you travel or
further ahead if you are traveling extensively.
We run a Travel Clinic on Weds 4.30-6pm or book into any Practice
Nurse clinic, advising Reception of your destination.
