The practice has two surgeries, at Mill Road,
Ecclesfield and Remington Avenue, Parson Cross.
There are around 7500 patients registered with
approximately a 70:30 split between both sites, our main
surgery at Ecclesfield having the larger number of
patients, where all our administration work is handled.
There are currently 4 GP partners & 3 salaried GPs
providing a total of 40 clinical sessions per week. We
are also registered as a GP training practice.
Practice staff comprise of 1 Practice Manager, 1
Assistant Manager, 3 Practice Nurses, 1 Health Care
Assistant, 1 phlebotomist, 1 Clinical Admin
Co-ordinator, 2 Medical Secretaries, 1 Senior
Receptionist, and 10 Receptionists.
When the surgery is closed, our out-of-hours service is
provided by the Sheffield GP-collaborative. Patients who
dial the main practice telephone number will be given
the opportunity to transfer their call to this service
for urgent advice.
Our attached staff consist of Health Visitors, District
Nurses and Midwives. We also provide in-house
physiotherapy services from both our sites and have a
counselling service at Margetson surgery.
There are a number of elderly persons homes covered by
the practice and demographics indicate around 25% of our
population are aged 65 or over. Many of these either
live alone in their own homes or in one of the many
residential homes the practice also provides services
for.
The practice welcomes new patients who live within our
practice boundary and patients wishing to register can
if necessary, confirm at reception whether or not they
do live within the designated area.
