Kearsley Medical Centre is a GP training practice on Jackson Street in Kearsley, south Bolton, serving a registered population of approximately 13,000 patients. It is part of Farnworth and Kearsley PCN and is rated Good by the CQC.
The team includes GP partners, salaried GPs and GP trainees, with advanced clinical practitioners and primary care paramedics in an urgent care team. Practice nurses, an assistant practitioner, clinical pharmacists and pharmacy technicians work alongside a first contact musculoskeletal practitioner, social prescribers, a mental health practitioner and health improvement practitioners. Acute demand is managed through total triage and duty systems.
Training and teaching
The practice has been a training practice for several years and currently has four GP trainers, with qualified doctors on rotation training to become GPs. It occasionally hosts medical students from the University of Manchester and takes physician associate students from the University of Bolton. Adverts describe support for trainee clinicians and for employed staff in developing their careers, and new reception staff join a structured in-house training programme.
How the team works
Advanced clinical practitioners and primary care paramedics form an urgent care team that deals with acute issues on the day, working closely with the GPs within the practice's total triage and duty systems. Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians handle medicines work and prescribing queries, while musculoskeletal, social prescribing, mental health and health improvement practitioners cover specialist strands of care. The practice describes a team of more than 40 staff working collaboratively.
