Administration
Our Administration Team ensure the smooth running and updating of your medical records.
Reception
Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.
Some of our receptionists work at both sites, but the administration offices are located at Hillgate Surgery.
Secretaries
Our medical secretaries work closely with the GP’s, nurses and other members of the practice team to ensure referrals are sent promptly and liaise with other outside healthcare professionals.

GP Registrars
GP Training Information for Patients:
Manor Medical Practice is an accredited practice for the training of doctors intending to become General Practitioners.
Those doctors training to become GPs are called GP Registrars or STs (Speciality Trainees). All of these doctors are under supervision from one of the Partners in the practice.
The GP Registrar is a fully qualified and registered doctor who has passed out of medical school and completed their 2 years of pre registration in hospital. They have been admitted as a fully registered doctor on the GMC list.
If you are seeing a GP Registrar you can expect to receive the quality of service you would from your own GP. If you have any concerns please mention this to a member of staff.
