Nurse Practitioners

We have a nurse practitioner who is a trained nurse with a specific degree, which allows her to work as a complement to our doctors, providing another choice for our patients.

Nurses

Practice nurses are qualified and registered nurses. They can help with health issues such as family planning, healthy living advice, blood pressure checks and dressings. The practice nurses run clinics for long-term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes, minor ailment clinics and carry out cervical smears.

Healthcare Assistants

Healthcare assistants support practice nurses with their daily work and carry out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement and new patient checks. They may act as a chaperone when a patient or doctor requests one.

Practice Management

The practice manager supports the GPs and other medical professionals with delivering patient services and also helps to develop extended services to enhance patient care.
