Nurse practitioners
We have three highly experienced nurse practitioners. Nurse practitioners are qualified and registered nurses with additional qualifications.
They are able to deal with diagnosing and treating minor illnesses and some chronic disease management. This may involve writing a prescription or making an onward referral if necessary. They work closely with the GP’s and have ongoing support when required.

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 surgery nurses run clinics for long-term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes, minor ailment clinics and carry out cervical smears.

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.
