Please note that all patients in the practice are allocated to a Named GP. This is following guidelines from the Department of Health. Although it is preferable to try and maintain some continuity with seeing the same GP for an existing medical condition, this does not stop you from seeing any GP within the practice.

If you currently have a repeat medication on prescription, your named GP will be printed on your repeat medication order form. If you are still unsure as to whom your Named GP is, please ask at the reception desk, or speak to a GP/nurse at your next appointment

Health Practitioners

Our Urgent Care Practitioners are registered paramedics or nurses who have completed additional training, and so are able to assess, diagnose, treat and manage illness and disease. Our Urgent Care Practitioners help to run the Minor Injuries Unit (MIU) at Faversham Cottage Hospital. The MIU is available to all patients both in and out of Faversham.

It is open from 8 AM till 8 PM 7 days a week, including Bank Holidays (apart from Christmas Day).

You can get help for any Minor Injuries, cuts, wounds, grazes, eye and ear injuries, bites, abscesses, falls, burns, sprains, strains and foreign bodies.

You can also get treatment for Minor Illnesses for problems like infections, rashes, coughs and colds when your GP surgery is closed.

X-ray is available 10am to 4pm Monday-Friday. Patients need to bring with them the forms provided by their GP and do not need to book an appointment.

Reception

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.
