Practice Nurses

The practice nurses can be seen by appointment only. They are available to help you with general advice, dressings, injections, advice and immunisation for foreign travel. The nurses also deal with clinical enquiries from patients.
They have a major role in the field of health promotion, especially asthma, diabetes, family planning and cervical screening.

Healthcare Assistant

Beverley, our healthcare assistant, is part of a new nursing skill mix, taking on some of the roles of the practice nurses such as checking blood pressures and carrying out ECG's.
