The Chacewater Health Centre is part of a group practice of three full-time and one part-time doctors.  The doctors also work at the Devoran Surgery.  The practice area covers the triangle between Truro, Redruth and Penryn.  We care for patients from all the villages within this area.  We do not register new patients from the towns since these are well served by the town practices.  We aim to provide a full range of family care in a compassionate and professional way.

The doctors employ ten ancillary staff to work in the practice.  Three are qualified nurses who undertake the various nursing duties in the health centre.  One of them, Mrs Sue Gunn, is also the practice manager.  There are seven general receptionists, three of whom have a dispensing qualification and two who undertake most of the typing and secretarial work.

In addition to the employed staff, Health Authority Community Staff also work from the Health Centre.  We have two Health Visitors, six District Nurses and a District Midwife based with us.  They have their own office at the Health Centre.  Their number is (01872) 560073.

We are a dispensing practice and dispense drugs for patients who live in rural areas further than a mile from a chemist.  Patients may take a prescription to a town chemist if they wish.
