The Practice Manager Judi Fowler is responsible for the smooth running of the practice and she will be happy to hear your views and suggestions about the services offered by the practice.

We have four Receptionsts/Secretaries. All trained to help with your enquiries, whether it is making an appointment with one of the doctors or any other member of the primary health care team or repeat prescriptions. To help them deal with your enquiry efficiently they may need to ask questions; anything that you say will be treated in absolute confidence. The rules of confidentiality apply to all members of the team.

Practice Nurses Jackie Crawford and Mandy Sterrett are available five mornings a week and also a Wednesday afternoon. They are available by appointment for dressings, removal of sutures, ear syringing, well person/new patient checks and advice. They run a vaccination clinic for children and travel, perform cervical smears. Jackie Crawford assists Dr M T Claridge with our Diabetic clinic.

We have a team of Community Nurses attached to the practice who are led by a senior qualified district nurse - Helen Hughes. Their aim is to deliver appropriate levels of nursing care in your own home. We have a small team of attached Midwives led by Wendy Seddon who allow us to offer complete personal maternity care in your own home. Together with the same team of midwives, car in labour and delivery can be offered at Okehampton District Hosptital or, in carefully selected cases at home.
