Nursing Team

The practice employs three Practice Nurses, three Healthcare Assistants, a Nurse Associate and two Phlebotomist's.

The Practice Nurses provide advice on vaccinations and travel health, dietary advice, chronic disease management including diabetes, asthma/COPD & coronary heart disease. Cervical smears, health promotion checks, weight reduction, smoking cessation clinics, audiology and ear syringing, and wound management/dressings are all within their capability.

The Healthcare Assistants are now able to do basic well person checks, pill checks in addition to their primary role of taking blood samples, performing ECG's, weight checks, blood pressures and urinalysis. They also operate the 24hr BP monitors and teledermatology. 

Both the Nurses and Healthcare Assistants operate a variable appointment system with time slots booked according to the procedure to be performed, also different nurses and healthcare assistants have different skill sets. It would help greatly therefore if you are prepared to tell the reception staff when booking your appointment, the reason you require it so that the correct amount of time can be allocated, and that you are also booked in with the correct member of the team to deal with your requirements.

Practice Staff

Allison Edgeler Practice Manager, Denise Burge Data Quality Manager, Kerry Clay Finance Manager, two Medical Secretaries, a GP Assistant, several admin assistants and a large team of reception staff who are trained to be Care Navigators.

District Nurses

Our team of District Nurses support the work of the practice by caring for patients who are housebound and unable to attend the surgery.

Midwives

A team of Midwives run antenatal services. The regular clinic is at Morthen Road on a Thursday.

Associated Staff

The practice also has an attached dietician. Referral is arranged through discussion with your doctor.

The practice also has access to specialist nursing services such as a Community Matron, specialist heart failure nurses, and the Macmillan nursing service.

We also have shared care workers in house who specialise in helping people with alcohol or drug dependency. Please see your GP if you think you might benefit from a referral to this team.

Additional Roles
