Community Nurses
District Nurses are senior nurses who manage care within the community, leading teams of community nurses and support workers as well as visiting house-bound patients to provide advice and care, wound management, catheter and continence care and medication support. They can assess people to see how to provide nursing care that allows people to remain in their own homes, maintain their independence, or have additional support after discharge from hospital.
Health Visitors
A health visitor is a registered nurse who has received training particularly related to babies, children and pregnant women. Their role is to provide families with children under five years old with support and advice around the general aspects of mental, physical and social wellbeing.
Pharmacists
The Practice has attached Pharmacists who help to manage requests for medication.
They also run clinics for the following conditions:
contraception
HRT
blood pressure
pain management
respiratory - asthma / COPD
If you have any questions about medication, please ask Reception and your query will be passed to a Pharmacist who will be able to contact you to discuss your issue further.
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.
Treatment Room Nurses
The Treatment Room Nurses carry out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement and wound and dressing management. They also administer injectable medications, such as long-acting contraception or Vitamin B12. They may act as a chaperone when a patient or doctor requests one.
