Advanced Nurse Practitioner

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.

Registered patients aged 16 - 74 who have not been seen for three years are invited to see the Practice Nurse for a routine health check. We also offer routine health checks to patients aged over 65 years who have not been seen in the previous 12 months.

Senior Receptionist

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.

In addition to the Doctors, the following are available for advice and consultation in the surgery;
