Health Care Team

Practice Nurses

Practice Nurses are available by appointment. The receptionist will ask what the appointment is for in order to book it with the correct Nurse or clinic. The services they regularly provide include cervical smears, immunisations, family planning, repeat prescription of contraceptive pills and HRT, testing urine and blood pressure checks. The Practice Nurses also run many of the clinics offered within the Practice and can offer advice/support with stopping smoking, weight loss and general health checks.
