In addition to our GPs and to ensure that our patients have equal access to core primary care services here at Camberwell Green Surgery we have a team of highly skilled clinicians.
Paramedic - their training allows them to quickly but thoroughly assess the condition of patients with acute conditions. The paramedic is also highly suited to making home visits to our patients.
Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) - these are nurses that have the training and the authority in patient diagnosis and are trusted to independantly assess, diagnose, manage and care for patients with complex clinical issues.
Clinical Pharmacist - they work to improve outcomes from medicines and consult with and treat patients directly. This includes providing extra help to manage long-term conditions, advice for those on multiple medicines and better access to health checks.
Physicians Associate - work directly with patients diagnosing and treating common illnesses.
Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner - work directly with patients providing immediate access to specialist advice and urgent help using evidence-based interventions.
In addition to the above we also have a daily 'Oncall clincian' who is responsible for dealing with requests for:
- Sick certificates
- Medication queries (not repeat medication requests)
- E-consults
- Home visits
- Emergency calls - via 111 or LAS
For any same day query please try to call us as early as possible as our call back list may close earlier than 10:00 should the practice reach capacity for the day.
