PRACTICE NURSES
We have five Practice Nurses and a
Healthcare Assistant who work in the
Treatment Room. The Treatment
Room is open from 8.00am until
1.00pm and again from 2.00pm until
6.30pm. There are also
appointments available to pre-book
for Saturday mornings between 9.00am
and 12.00pm.It is not always
necessary to book an appointment
with the Nurse for BP checks or
seasonal flu vaccinations but for
anything else you should always make
an appointment to avoid waiting too
long to be seen.
Child Health Surveillance
appointments are carried out on
Thursday mornings by Dr Naeem and
the Health Visitor.
During the afternoons there are
various clinics including asthma,
diabetes, travel, chronic disease,
family planning and health
screening. We also offer
cardiovascular health checks by
appointment if you are aged between
40 and 74 years and do not suffer
with existing coronary heart
disease.
The Practice Nurses also carry
out dressings, immunisations,
removal of sutures, ear syringing,
ECGs, smear tests and assist with
minor surgery procedures. They
also run blood pressure clinics and
give general advice on health and
wellbeing. |
