New GPs 

We are pleased to introduce our 2 new GPs. While Dr Amin is new to Sheffield having moved up from Hertfordshire , Dr Al-Zubaidi has recently completed his GP training in Sheffield. A warm welcome to both of them.

Appointments

We have been operating a total triage system since 2023 for all appointments to ensure patients are seen within an appropriate time frame and to also allow the clinicians to review requests and notes, order any tests beforehand to ensure all clinical information is available when consulting. In addition to 4 GPs, we also have appointments available with 1 physician associate, 3 HCAs, 1 practice nurse, 2 pharmacists and 3 pharmacy technicians to help manage the overall clinical work. 

DNAs

Last week, we had a total of 16 missed appointments, which amounts to 3 hours of wasted clinical time. This  means patients waiting longer when they could have been offered a cancellation. Please where possible cancel any appointments you no longer need, so we can offer it to other patients. 

No news is good news!
