How to contact the practice.

Today we want to take a moment to recognise and thank the incredible people who work in our practice, our Primary Care Network, colleagues in services across Fleetwood Health & Wellbeing Centre and the wider health and care community.

General Practice is often described as the front door of the NHS, and every day the teams behind that door work incredibly hard to support our patients and community.

From reception and administration teams, to nurses, healthcare assistants, GPs, pharmacists, paramedics, ACP’s, Mental Health Professionals, social prescribers, care coordinators and many more — it truly takes a whole team to keep primary care running.

We are also incredibly grateful to our colleagues across our Primary Care Network, community services, and partner organisations who work alongside us to support patients every day. The collaboration between teams is what allows us to provide the care and support our community needs.

The pressures on the NHS are well known, but what continues to shine through is the dedication, compassion and resilience of the people working within it.

To all our colleagues — both within the practice and across our wider healthcare community — thank you for everything you do.

Who could I see at the practice?

🏥 Many patients are surprised to learn that GP practices now have a team of different healthcare professionals who can help with a wide range of problems.

👀 Seeing the right clinician often means you can be seen more quickly and receive the most appropriate care.

Examples include:

👨‍⚕️ GP (Doctor)for Diagnosis and management of complex medical conditions, ongoing care for long-term health problems, and situations where a doctor’s clinical assessment is needed.

👩🏻‍⚕️ Practice Nurse for Long -term condition reviews such as asthma, diabetes or COPD, cervical screening, wound care, vaccinations and general health checks.

👩🏼‍⚕️ Healthcare Assistant (HCA)For Blood tests, blood pressure checks, ECGs, NHS health checks and other routine monitoring.

🚑 Paramedic / Advanced Clinical Practitioner for assessment and treatment of many urgent health problems, infections, injuries and same-day concerns.

💊 Pharmacist Or Pharmacy Technician for Medication reviews, advice about medicines, prescription queries and support with long-term medications.

🧠 Mental Health Practitioner
For support with mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress and emotional wellbeing. They can provide assessment, advice and support, and help connect patients with the most appropriate mental health services where needed.

☎️ When you contact the practice, our reception team will ask you questions so that the request can be reviewed by a clinician and directed to the most appropriate member of the team.

This helps ensure patients receive the right care as quickly as possible.

❓Why do our reception team sometimes ask questions about your problem?

🧐 We know that being asked questions by our reception team can sometimes feel unusual, so we wanted to explain why we do this.

👨‍⚕️At Mount View Practice we operate a total triage system, which means that every patient request is reviewed by a clinician so we can make sure patients get the right care as quickly as possible.

☎️ Our reception team are not clinicians and do not make medical decisions. Their role is to gather a description of your concern and record this on the triage system so that the GP or appropriate clinician can review it.

This helps our clinical team to:

• Prioritise urgent problems 🚨
• Direct patients to the most appropriate clinician 📋
• Ensure no request for help is missed 😣

We understand that discussing health concerns can feel personal, but please be assured our reception staff are trained professionals who treat all information with strict confidentiality and respect.

Thank you for helping us make sure we can care for all of our patients safely and efficiently. 🙏
