Staff Changes

Welcome to The Park Surgery

Drs Pawson, Borg, Tallon, Patterson and Wakeford, the partners of this surgery, hope you find this website useful and informative. It contains details of the various services we offer and how to contact us by day or, in an emergency, at night. We have included a number of other pages on a variety of topics ranging from treating yourself at home to the way we run the administration. If you need to know more, please ask!

Our dedicated team of receptionists handles the efficient everyday running and administration of the practice. They work under the general direction of our practice manager, Mrs Bridget Wareham. Under the doctors' instructions, the receptionists perform a very busy and sometimes difficult job to ensure that the practice runs smoothly. They are, on occasions, faced with situations that are totally beyond their control, such as surgeries running late or the doctors being called out on emergencies during surgery. When such situations arise we will endeavour to keep patients informed about the progress of surgeries, but please remember that it is not the fault of the receptionist.

Appointments

Appointments for all surgeries and clinics may be made by telephoning the surgery between 8.30 to 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday. This line is closed at weekends and public holidays. Alternatively, you may visit the Surgery to make an appointment.

Urgent medical problems are dealt with on the same day, but not always by the doctor of your choice. The appointments system is designed to allow for long-term (up to 6 weeks), medium term (up to 2 to 3 weeks) and short-term (24 hours)bookings.

Details of the appointments systems can be found on another page.

We would respectfully ask for your co-operation and consideration over appointments. There is always considerable pressure on appointment slots and it is our aim to keep the waiting time for appointments as low as possible. To help us with this, please inform the surgery as soon as you can if you are unable to keep your appointment. If we know in good time, we can offer the slot to someone else and avoid wasting valuable surgery time.
