Healthcare assistants support practice nurses with their daily work and carry out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement and new patient checks. They may act as a chaperone when a patient or doctor requests one.

The Business Manager and Operations Manager are involved in managing all of the business aspects of the practice such as making sure that the right systems are in place to provide a high quality of patient care, human resources, finance, patient safety, premises and equipment and information technology. The Managers support the GPs and other medical professionals with delivering patient services and also helps to develop extended services to enhance patient care.

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.

We are really pleased to announce that from 1^st July 2021 we will be welcoming Clinical Pharmacists to our primary care team to support the care of patients.  The engagement of these four new team members is being organised by St Ives Primary Care Network – member practices are: Grove Medical Practice, St. Ives, Moat House Surgery, Warboys, Riverport Medical Practice, St.Ives, Fenstanton and Somersham and Spinney Surgery, St. Ives.

The Pharmacists will be working with us and directly with you, our patients, in all aspects of the safe and effective management of the prescribing of medicines.  Part of their work will be undertaking medication reviews – this will include contacting patients to discuss their understanding of the medicines prescribed to them, checking for side effects, considering whether medicine should be altered or changed if they are not working optimally.
