Nursing Team

 

Advanced Nurse Practitioner

At the practice we have two Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) who are skilled clinicians able to manage complex patient presentations and make independent decisions about patient are. They have the skills to assess, diagnoses and treat patients, including prescribing medications and referring patients to other healthcare professionals when necessary.

 

Nurses

Practice nurses are qualified and registered nurses. They can help with health issues such as family planning, healthy living advice, blood pressure checks and dressings. The practice nurses run clinics for long-term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes, minor ailment clinics and carry out cervical smears.

 

Healthcare Assistants

Healthcare assistants support practice nurses with their daily work and carry out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement and new patient checks. They may act as a chaperone when a patient or doctor requests one.
