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.
