Team Members

There is a district nursing team attached to the practice. They are primarily available to give nursing care to patients who are housebound.

We have two health visitors in the practice, Karen Glass and Jane Singleton. They are nurses who have undertaken further training in child development and health promotion. They are closely involved in the health care of patients, particularly children and their families.

Antenatal care is given by our doctors and the midwife. Appointments can be made with the doctor during normal surgery hours. The Antenatal Clinic run by the midwife is held on Fridays from 1.30pm until 3.30pm. Please telephone 01869 338611 for an appointment. The midwife can be contacted on 01295 229456

The Macmillan nurse is a trained expert in the care of the terminally ill and the bereaved. Please ask your doctor if you feel they may be able to help.

Private physiotherapists hold clinics at the health centre each week. NHS physiotherapists are at the Horton Hospital. Referrals are made via your doctor.

An NHS counsellor, Valerie Parker, visits the practice once a week. Patients will need to see a doctor for referral. Our counsellor also does consultations on a private basis to which you can self-refer. She can be contacted on 07813 936892 for an appointment.

A podiatrist visits the surgery weekly.

Clinics for children are held each Friday. The speech and language therapist can be contacted on Friday at the surgery by ringing the district office any day on 01295 277550. Adults with communication difficulties receive a service from the Horton Hospital (01295 229116).

An outpatient clinic is held at the health centre once a month. Referrals are made by your doctor.

We are a training practice and Dr Joe Robson is our current registrar. GP registrars are fully qualified doctors who have chosen general practice as a career, and who will be gaining valuable experience by being based at our practice. They provide care of the same standard provided by other doctors. At times the registrars' consultations will be recorded on video. We will tell you about this when you make an appointment and you are free to decline.

We support the teaching given to medical students in Deddington by having them with us for 6-week periods. From time to time it may be that a student will be present whilst you are having a consultation with the doctor or nurse. You will always be told that a student is going to be present. Please tell the receptionist if you do not wish to discuss your problem with a student present.

Our patients are spread over a wide area in a large number of villages. You are free to consult any of the doctors in the practice. Requested home visits are usually carried out by the doctor on call.
