At Manor View Practice we have worked hard to establish a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) through thoughtful planning, collaboration and alignment of goals, in order to provide the very best care to our patients across our four communities.
We have considered the wide range of unique characteristics of our patient population and we have taken the time to assess the specific needs that our diverse skill mix of clinical staff can address. This includes improving patient care, enhancing efficiency and being able to offer a variety of clinical, health and care solutions for our patients.
Our Multidisciplinary Team includes: GPs, Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), Nurses, Health Care Assistants (HCAs), Phlebotomists, Social Prescribing Link Workers and Mental Health Workers. The practice has invested heavily in these staff members to give our patients a great service and more appointments daily.
Below is a description of what each clinician does at our practice.
General Practitioner (GP)
GPs treat common medical conditions and complex medical conditions. They look after a person’s overall health, considering physical, mental, and social aspects of care.
Clinical Pharmacist In Primary Care
Clinical pharmacists are joining general practice teams more and more. They’re experts in medicines and can assist people in various ways. This includes conducting medication reviews for patients with ongoing health issues and enhancing patient safety and outcomes with a focus on the individual. They also help those with long-term conditions like diabetes, COPD, and asthma.
Pharmacy Technician In Primary Care
Pharmacy Technicians process repeat medication requests, conduct medication reviews and provide patient education on medication use and adherence. By supporting clinical pharmacists and GPs, they help ensure efficient medication management and improve patient safety and outcomes.
Advanced Nurse Practitioners In Primary Care
Advanced nurse practitioners are registered nurses who have received additional training and qualifications to examine, assess, diagnose, treat, prescribe, and refer patients with undiagnosed or unclear issues.
Paramedic In Primary Care
A paramedic in primary care is a practitioner who has undergone extra training and academic qualifications to examine, assess, diagnose, treat, and refer patients with undiagnosed or unclear problems.
First Contact Practitioner (FCP)
A First Contact Practitioner (FCP) is a physiotherapist qualified to treat patients directly without needing a referral from a GP or other healthcare professional. FCPs serve as the initial point of contact for individuals seeking help for musculoskeletal (MSK) issues, providing appointments in place of visits to a GP.
Practice Nurses
Practice nurses are skilled healthcare professionals who offer nursing care, treatment, and health education to patients of all ages. They conduct reviews for long-term conditions, perform smear tests, apply dressings, manage travel clinics, and administer childhood immunisations, among other duties.

HCAs are experienced professionals who perform various roles, such as providing lifestyle advice, removing stitches, conducting ECGs, managing warfarin clinics, and administering injections.

Phlebotomists are technicians trained to take bloods from patients for clinical reasons.
Mental Health Worker
Mental Health Workers support patients with mental health challenges. They offer counselling, coping strategies, and referrals to mental health services to help patients manage their well-being.

Social Prescribing Link Workers help people with non-medical issues affecting their health. They assess individuals and connect them with local resources like community groups. Their goal is to empower people by building social connections and accessing support.
