Wansford & Kings Cliffe Practice is a training practice for General Practitioner Registrars and doctors in training. These are fully trained doctors with a wealth of hospital experience who are being trained for the Primary Care setting.

Training may involve shared surgeries with another doctor and video surgeries. The reception staff will inform you if the consultations are being filmed. Please say if you would prefer not to be filmed.

Our registrars are currently:

You can speak to our Emergency Care Practitioners for advice and guidance on how to access the care you need, without unnecessary delay. They will make sure that you see the right person, at the right time, utilising the wide range of resources we have available.

They can either offer you advice over the phone, or arrange a same day appointment for you. This could be with herself, the On Call Doctor or another Practitioner. If you are housebound, or terminally ill they can also arrange a home visit for you.
