GP Registrars

As an accredited training practice we often have GP registrars attached to the practice for 6 or 12 months. GP Registrars are fully qualified doctors who are training to be General Practitioners. GP Registrars are closely supervised by the doctors. Your medical care will not be compromised in any way by consulting with a registrar rather than one of the other doctors.

Attached Staff

Pharmacists

Pharmacists are becoming more common as integral members of the practice team.  Whilst Woodland Road Surgery does not currently employ a pharmacist we frequently have pharmacists from the CCG working with us.  Pharmacists are governed by the same rules of confidentiality as the rest of the practice team.  They have special expertise in medicines that can be of significant benefit to overall patient care.  Patients may find they are contacted by one of these pharmacists on occasion to discuss their treatment, this could be over the telephone, in writing or at a face to face appointment.  If you have any concerns about this element of your care please speak to someone at the practice.

Community Midwives

We currently have a midwife in attendance at the surgery once a week, on a Wednesday afternoon. A midwife deals with pregnant ladies and any issues they may experience during pregnancy.

Health Visitors

A health visitor is a registered nurse who has received training particularly related to babies, children and pregnant women. Their role is to provide families with children under five years old with support and advice around the general aspects of mental, physical and social well-being.

Substance Misuse Worker

Woodland Road Surgery is part of the Birmingham substance misuse treatment project, currently hosted by CGL.  Specialist workers from the service run clinics at the practice offering support, guidance and treatment for those tackling addiction.
