Health Practitioners
Fiona, Kandy, Suresh and Helen are our First Contact Physiotherapists and are based with the Practice. They are all highly skilled Physiotherapists who are able to see patients who have muscle and joint problems. This is a triage service. The team are able to advise on exercise and they have any queries will work closely with the GP Team. The team are also able to refer on to appropriate services, if needed. The First Contact Physiotherapists work across the A31 Group of Practices offering physiotherapist triage services. Appointments are available via the reception team and Chawton Park Surgery and The Wilson Practice.
Community Nurses
There is a community nursing team that works in the community. They are responsible for nursing care in the community. Special leg ulcer clinics are provided by the nursing team on a Thursday morning, based at Alton Community Hospital.
Health Visitors
Health visitors are registered nurses with additional community training. The aim of the health visiting service is to improve the health of the population it works within. The focus of our work is with families with children of preschool age. We can be contacted via the surgery, and can discuss issues within the clinic or at home. A qualified nursery nurse has recently joined the team and assists us in our work. The health visitors run a baby clinic on 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month in the morning (9:30am to 10:30am), and are available to advise on a whole range of issues about your children’s wellbeing – from diet and sleep problems through to potty-training. Feel free to contact them directly if you think they can help on 0300 121 1575.
