Practice Nurses

Our practice nurses see patients by appointment. They have surgeries throughout the day seeing patients with:

  • diabetes
  • respiratory problems such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • ischaemic heart disease
  • high blood pressure.

They also see patients for:

  • cervical smears
  • travel advice and vaccinations
  • ear syringing (at the request of audiology)
  • new patient registration checks
  • family planning and contraception advice
  • general health promotion

In addition, our health care assistant conducts routine blood tests.
