Our Staff

We have a team of experienced doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals that are committed to providing you the highest standard of care and treatment.

Named Accountable GP  

Every one of our patients has a named GP. They have overall responsibility for the care and support that we provide to you. This does not mean that you must only see your named GP – you can see any clinician within our Practice.

We will let you know who your named GP is when you register with the Practice. You can always ask our Reception/Admin team who your named GP is too.

Teaching Practice 

We want to support the NHS by helping to train the next generation of GPs. Our practice is an accredited training practice which means that we train doctors to become GPs.

As a patient at our Practice, you might be supported by a GP Registrar.

• A GP Registrar (or GP Trainee) is a qualified Doctor who will become a GP by training in hospitals and GP practices. The GP training takes place over a 3 year period.
• Our current GP Registrar is: Dr Y Al-Eryani

Our Doctors

All of the doctors have specialised interests, which allow for further high quality care of our patients.

Attached Team

We are a member practice of the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board (NNICB) which is divided into smaller groups of Primary Care Network (PCN) practices who work together on improving services to patients within the NHS budgets.

Our PCN is Bulwell & Top Valley (BTV) which consists of the following Practices:

• Southglade Medical Practice
• The Practice St Albans & Nirmala
• Leen View Surgery & Bulwell Riverside
• Parkside Medical Practice
• Rise Park Surgery

Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) staff

Through the Primary Care Network, a number of additional clinical support staff are employed to work across the BTV PCN. The Reception/Admin team are able to signpost patients for appointments with these services (following agreed criteria) which then can free up GP appointments.

This includes our share of:

Clinical Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians

A Pharmacist is a healthcare professional specializing in medicines, their use, and dispensing, advising patients on safe and effective medication use, and working with other healthcare professionals to optimise patient care.  With Pharmacy Technicians, they support the GPs with repeat prescriptions, hospital discharge medications and queries, arrange medication “swaps” (as agreed nationally) and medication reviews.

In our Practice:

Rachel Smith – Clinical Pharmacist (Mondays & Tuesdays)

First Contact Physiotherapists

First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs) are qualified autonomous clinical practitioners who can assess, diagnose, treat and manage joint, musculoskeletal (MSK) problems and undifferentiated conditions. These staff have more specific skills in this area than the GPs therefore are more appropriate to see patients experiencing symptoms related to these issues so that they can effectively assess, treat and/or refer or signpost.

In our Practice:

Shweta Trimbake (Wednesdays)

HCPC: PH128667

Social Prescribers

Social Prescribers connects individuals with community-based activities, groups, and services to address their social, emotional, and practical needs that affect their health and well-being. They can signpost patients and carers to different agencies for social support – eg. arrange care packages, assist with benefit forms, blue badges, befriending services, social activities, home aids etc.

Please talk to our Reception/Admin team about a referral to the Social Prescribers.

Mental Health Practitioner

A Mental Health Practitioner is a professional who supports individuals with mental health concerns, offering assessment, advice, and signposting to appropriate services, often working within primary care settings like GP surgeries.

In the community

We also work closely with other healthcare professionals such as Health Improvement Workers, District Nurses, Health Visitors and Midwives, who are not directly employed by the Practice, but who work as an extension of the Practice team delivering services to our patients and locality.

You can contact the Midwifery team for a new pregnancy, advice or support on 0115 876 1891.

If you have an illness or incapacity that means that you need nursing care in your own home, your GP will refer you to the District Nurses. Patients who are likely to benefit from this service include the housebound, the elderly, people with a terminal illness, and those who have recently been discharged from hospital. District Nurses provide wound care, palliative care, continence advice, health promotion advice and advice on co-ordinating care packages.
