Attached Staff

Community Midwives

The community midwife runs an ante-natal clinic on alternate Wednesdays from 9.00 – 12.30 to provide ante-natal care and support to expectant mums. She will be happy to discuss your wishes for your care and confinement and will make all the necessary arrangements. Most ante-natal care is shared between the Primary Care Team and the Hospital. Please ring the surgery to make an appointment for our ante-natal clinic.

Community Nurses

A team of district nurses works closely with the Practice providing a range of services to patients who are housebound and unable to attend surgery for treatment. Referrals to the district nurses are normally made by the hospitals or the GPs.

Health Visitors

If you need to contact a Health Visitor – please ring 0114 3053224.

GP net earnings

NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice are publicised, and the required disclosure is shown below. However is should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings , nor to make any comparison with any other practice.

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (average pay) of GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice. The average pay for GPs working in Falkland House Surgery in the financial year ended 31 March 2020 was £76,203 before Tax, National Insurance and Pension Contributions and relates to 2 full time GPs and 1 registrar GP working in the practice.
