Welcome to Minster Medical Practice
The doctors and staff at Minster Medical Practice are proud to offer the highest standard of patient-centred healthcare. We run many clinics for the management of chronic diseases such as asthma and diabetes and offer a wide variety of other medical services including antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and well-person check-ups.
In addition to everything you need to know about the practice you will also find a wealth of health-related information in the menu on the right hand side.
ORIGINS
Historically our Practice has been in the Cathedral Area since the mid-nineteenth century. Drs Maclure and Watson moved from Eastgate to "2 Mainwaring Road" in 1968 and the Practice remained there until 1991, when we moved to our current location.
NOW
Our Surgery is situated off Nettleham Road in the Cabourne Court Health Care Complex. This site has ample car parking and pedestrian access from both Nettleham Road and Cabourne Avenue. Other services on the site include a Chemist, Dental Practice, Physiotherapy clinic, Chiropractitioner, Chiropodist and Hearing Care Aid Centre.
GENERAL PRACTITIONER REGISTRARS
We have been a training Practice since 1994. Dr Pontin and Dr Fitzgerald are the approved trainers. GP Registrars join us for four or eight month attachments. They are fully qualified Doctors, but have not yet completed the specialised extra training now required before they can become a partner in General Practice.
Because we undertake training of other Doctors wishing to enter General Practice we undergo a periodic assessment when the quality of the records in the Practice may be examined by senior Doctors.
Patient confidentiality is always maintained.
However, if you do not want your notes to be examined please inform the Receptionist or your Doctor.
