About Us
Last Updated: Monday, 27 November 2023Previously known as Dr Flynn’s Medical Practice, we have been at our current location on Smithdown Road since 1996 after moving from the previous Ullet Road site.
Our clinical team includes 2 Partner GPs, 3 salaried GPs, 1 long-term locum GP, 2 Nurses, 1 Physician Associate, 1 Associate Practitioner and 1 Clinical Pharmacist. Our longest standing member of staff has been with us for over 30 years and our average length or service is 10 years. We sometimes use locum clinicians to cover absence to ensure appointment availability isn’t affected.
We have approximately 9500 patients on our register and we are also part of a larger network of Practices called the Picton Network which has approximately 50,000 patients collectively. Through this network we are able to share the additional support of a team including Clinical Pharmacists, Mental Health Practitioners, Paramedics and Physiotherapists. The Picton Network also hold community events to promote health and well-being.
We are proud to be a Certified Training Practice, meaning we are involved in and responsible for the training of new GPs (Registrars). A Registrar is a fully qualified doctor who is undertaking training to specialise in General Practice and is supervised and supported by members of our clinical team. You may be offered an appointment with a registrar or have your prescription issued by them. As part of their ongoing development they are required to video record some of their consultations, you have the choice whether to consent to this or not. You will be asked in advance and can change your mind afterwards if you wish.
