Meet the people and services working together for your care.
Eastfield’s practice team provides clinical care and helps patients access the right service.
Reception may ask for a brief description of your problem. This is treated confidentially and helps the team direct your request safely—it is not a clinical decision.
Your practice team

GPs who see patients and jointly lead clinical standards and the practice partnership.
GPs employed by Eastfield who provide the same core general-practice care.

How Community Treatment and Care works →
Assess many new muscle, joint and back problems, explain the likely diagnosis and arrange treatment or referral—often without a GP appointment first.
Helping you access care
Trained staff managing patient contact, confidential information and the administrative work that keeps care moving.
Coordinates reception and administration, supports complex enquiries and helps daily patient-access work run smoothly.
The team handles appointment requests, prescriptions, documents, records and confidential enquiries. Staff ask brief questions to identify the appropriate clinician or service; they do not make clinical decisions.
