Practice Nursing Team

We have a team of five practice nurses and three healthcare assistants.

The practice nurses are experienced in chronic disease management, including asthma, diabetes and coronary heart disease, health promotion, well woman, including cervical smears, and numerous treatment room tasks. These include general wound care, stitch removal, ear syringing, giving injections, dietary and lifestyle advice, travel health and immunisations.

The healthcare assistants are not practice nurses, and will only deal with a very limited range of procedures - for example, taking blood samples, urine samples, blood pressures, ECGs, new patient checks.
