Information and Announcements

Staff changes in 2024

We are happy to announce the addition of new clinical staff members here at The Glen Medical Practice:

• Dr Christopher Curry and Dr Jennifer Lauder are both GPs.
• Dr Joel John joined us on August 12th, as a new GP member of the medical staff.
• Sister Monika Inglot is an ANP and joined us on August 26th.
• Dr Sasha Reeve started on August 14th as one of the GP medical staff.

We hope that they have settled in well and are enjoying being part of the team here at the Practice and caring for our local population.

And it is with mixed emotions that we announce the departure of two of our longstanding GPs:

• Dr Julie Mallon, who retires after 27 years' of service, and Dr Kathleen Gibbons, who joined us in 2007, both ended their service on August 15th. They will both be greatly missed, and we at the Practice wish them the very best for the future.

* Our Appointment system at The Glen Medical Practice

We use a Triage-based system for urgent emergency medical matters - when you phone Reception our staff will ask you for your details and a short description of your problem. You may be directed to other more appropriate services, or a GP or Nurse will phone you back later to discuss the issue with you. 

We also offer pre-bookable phone and face-to-face appointments for medical issues that you consider to be more routine (ie non-emergency) - please ask our Reception staff if this is more suitable. 

Please see the Appointments page for more details.

* There is a nationwide shortage of GPs and this issue has also affected the Practice.

The Practice has worked hard to recruit doctors to make up this shortfall.

We recognise that this is making it more difficult to arrange an appointment and we are grateful for your understanding and patience.

** If you have an urgent medical matter, please inform Reception who will contact the GP On Call **

Convenience

* As well as being able to see when we are open at the click of a mouse we’ve made it easier for you to do a number of things. Check out how to order a repeat prescription or update your contact details online.

* Our phone lines have a queuing system to allow us to deal with your phone-calls in a more efficient way. We hope that you find this service helpful.

* Attend Anywhere / Near Me - is a secure video-consulting service, to allow safe and confidential discussion with a GP or Nurse from our Practice. This is for pre-arranged consultations only - please do not enter this site unless instructed by the GP or Nurse.

Prescriptions and Pharmacy Pick-up

* Please click here to register with the Online Prescription Service.

* We would be grateful if you could update Reception with your preferred local Pharmacy of choice. Your prescriptions will then automatically be sent there for your convenience.

CPRD - Clinical Practice Research Datalink

The Glen Medical Practice contributes to the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD)

Information in patient records is important for medical research to develop new treatments and test the safety of medicines. This practice supports medical research by sending some of this information from patient records to CPRD.

CPRD is a Government organisation that provides anonymised patient data for research to improve patient and public health. You cannot be identified from the information sent to CPRD.

If you do not want anonymised information from your patient record to be used in research, you can opt out by speaking to one of our Doctors.
