Warm Welcome to Jayne Thomas, trainee Advanced Care Practitioner

The practice sends a warm welcome to Jayne Thomas who has joined us today as a trainee Advanced Care Practitioner (tACP). When fully trained ACPs are able to see patients on their own, make diagnosis and treat them. Inorder to become trained tACPs attend a University course and have placements in general practice. In general practice they are supervised whilst they develop the skills to become an ACP. Jayne was a paramedic and the practice is very pleased to welcome her to join us.

New Practice Email Address

In the past we have used our Practice Managing Partners' (Christine Sanderson) email address as a contact email address for the practice. This has worked fine until Christine goes on holiday! Her email is not monitored when she is on holiday and if you have emailed the practice via Christines' email address when she is on leave you would not have had a reply until she returned! We have recently got some new nhs.net email addresses for practice staff and have made a generic email address for the practice. This email address is monitored daily and will be directed onto the correct person in the practice for action. Our new generic email address is kings.medicalpractice@nhs.net , so if you want to contact us by email then this is the email address to use.
