Our receptionists are fully trained and have a lot of information at their fingertips and will be able to answer many of your queries. If you are unsure as to whether to consult a doctor, nurse or health visitor etc, the receptionist will be able to advise you. Please rest assured that the rules of confidentiality apply equally to all practice staff; a brief explanation may enable them to suggest the right person for advice, or offer the most suitable appointment. Please help them to help you.

Carer Champion

As part of our ongoing service to patients, Whitchurch Village Practice has nominated Lisa Latner as their Carer Champion. This role allows patients who have the responsibility of caring for relatives, neighbours or friends to contact the practice in confidence, as well as a friendly first stage towards getting well deserved recognition and assistance.

It is important that carers are aware that this service is available for them and to this end we would encourage cares to contact Lisa to discuss the assistance available. Lisa can be contacted on Wednesday and Friday mornings and Thursday afternoon at the Practice.
