pathology and correspondence during annual leave, and all GPs provide clinical
support and leadership to the wider practice team.
We
are supported by the PCN Team Up service and our wider clinical team, who
undertake the majority of home visiting. On occasion, you may be asked to
complete a home visit (including palliative/end-of-life visits), for example
when the service is at capacity or where continuity and timely clinical review
is needed. Our team is cohesive and supportive, and we are proud of the
positive working culture we have developed at Whitemoor Medical Centre.
