Practice Nurses

Our Nurses can provide health advice on a range of medical concerns such as family planning, healthy living, blood pressure checks, and dressings. They are involved in patient assessment, medication administration and providing treatments as prescribed by the doctor. Our nurses are experienced in running clinics for long-term health conditions such as asthma and diabetes and minor conditions such as ear or throat checks. They also carry out cervical smears.
