APPOINTMENT REMINDERS

Please be aware that from 23rd October 2024, due to circumstances beyond our control, we have had to switch off appointment reminder text messages. We are very sorry to have to remove this service for our patients. 

Repeat Prescription Requests

We have listened to patient feedback regarding the option to request your medication through Parkshot Pathways and removed this option for patient ease. Please now request your medication using the easier option of the NHS APP or you can continue with Patient Access.

We are a GP Training Practice

Parkshot Medical is a GP Training Practice, which means that we have been approved for undergraduate and post-graduate training of GP registrars.  Registrars are already fully qualified doctors, in their final stage of professional General Practice training.   This is supervised by Dr Justin Woolley, Dr Claire Sillitoe and Dr Marianna Turner. 

Registrars normally stay with Parkshot Medical for around 12 months. During which time they see patients in their own GP clinics. They are closely supervised, so part of their ongoing development involves the trainer sitting in to observe a consultation, or analysis of videoed consultations. For this reason patients may be asked for their permission to have consultations with GP Registrar’s recorded. No physical examinations are recorded. lease rest assured that this will only be done with your written consent, and if you decide not to have the consultation recorded, it will not affect the care you receive in any way.

As a teaching practice, patients may also meet medical students in the surgery or accompanying the doctor on their calls. These students are going through a very important part of their medical training and your co-operation is extremely valuable and much appreciated.  However, if you would prefer not to engage with our students please inform reception and they will pass on your wishes to the doctor.

Our current GP Registrars are : Dr Benjamin Giles, Dr Thomas Leaver and Dr Shad Asinger
