Every patient at the practice is allocated a named, accountable GP. This ensures you have a ‘usual’ GP as a point of contact and to assist with continuity of care. You should always try and see your usual GP, especially for ongoing problems, however we understand this is not always possible which is why there are no restrictions on seeing other doctors.
It is possible to change your named GP at any time, please contact reception who will be happy to help.
General Practitioner Registrar
The practice currently has 2 GP registars. More information on GP registrars.

Primary Care Network Team
All GP practices - including ours - are working together in ‘Primary Care Networks’ (PCNs), to share their expertise and resources over wider geographical area.
The NHS’s Long Term Plan, published in January 2019, aims to integrate a lot of services which have traditionally worked separately - like mental health services, physiotherapy and social care. By working together in a PCN, practices like ours can offer you a wider range of services than we can on our own, and give you much faster and more efficient access to the right care and support.
Our PCN details are:
PCN Title: Coastal PCN
Practices: Stubbington Medical Practice, Brook Lane Surgery & Lockswood Surgery
Clinical Lead: Dr Ros Sexton
PCN Transformation Manager: Paula Pearce
Website: Coastal PCN Website
Pharmacists
We have 3 Clinical Pharmacists and 2 pharmacy technicians working alongside the general practice team (and across the primary care network), whose role is to assess and proactively manage patients’ medication (particularly those with chronic conditions). This includes carrying out medication reviews, prescribing medications, and liaising with specialist and community pharmacists in order to ensure the most effective management of chronic conditions. They provide specialist expertise, supporting patients to get the best from their medications, reducing waste and supporting self-care.
Social Prescribers
We have 2 social prescribers who understand the complexity of people’s health, how it is not just down to how they are feeling physically but how a range of social and economic factors can affect a person’s wellbeing. We are aware that taking care of our health involves more than just medicine. The Social Prescribers, use a patient centred approach to find out what matters to the patient, empowering them to take control of their own health and wellbeing in a proactive and holistic way. If you feel you could benefit from seeing our social prescribers, please contact the practice to be referred.
