Nurses

Doreen Brown

The nurses are available for blood pressure checks, smoking cessation advice, asthma/chest clinic reviews, travel health information and vaccination, contraceptive advice and pill checks, weighing, dressing changes, any health promotion issues and advice on minor ailments. They also offer a cytology clinic and are available by appointment for help and advice on any medical matter that may concern you.

If you are not sure a doctor's time is needed, please use this valuable service; the nurses are highly qualified and available by appointment to help you. A visit to the nurse may avoid someone who is quite poorly being unable to be seen more urgently by the doctor.

Reception

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.

Community Nurses
