Doctors

From time to time we may have locum doctors working in the practice to provide extra surgeries when one of the doctors is away on holiday or on educational courses. These will always be fully qualified General Practitioners.

Our Partner GPs are Dr Athan Simopoulos, Dr Katie Ariaraj and Dr Jonathon Minns.

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GPs working in Spital Surgery in the financial year 2021/22 was £51,908 before tax and National Insurance. This is for one full-time GPs and four part-time GPs.

Administration

The practice manager is 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 practice manager supports 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. Our Reception and Admin team 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.

Clinical Pharmacy Team

What is a GP clinical pharmacist?

Clinical pharmacists work directly with patients as part of the GP practice team to make sure your medicines help you get better and stay well.  You will see a clinical pharmacist when you need expert advice on your medicines, however, you may need to see a GP first in order to diagnose your illness. If you have a long term condition, clinical pharmacists can talk to you about the medicines you are taking to make sure they are working for you. Long term conditions are things like type 2 diabetes, arthritis or high blood pressure. If your medicine is causing side effects, the pharmacist can help by changing your medicine or changing how much medicine you are taking. If you are taking medicines for a long time, you will need to have them checked at least once a year, this can be done by the clinical pharmacist. A clinical pharmacist may be able to prescribe your medicines in the same way as a GP. Clinical pharmacists often liaise with pharmacists in other part of the healthcare system such as the hospital or community pharmacy. A clinical pharmacist does not give you your medicines. You have to collect your medicines from a community pharmacy in the usual way.
