GP Registrars

Nurses

The Practice employs four practice nurses, two of whom are nurse practitioners and undertake triage. The practice nursing role has evolved over the years and is now a comprehensive and dynamic service dealing with health promotion, disease prevention, chronic disease management and women’s health. The nursing team carry out health promotion services for you. The nurse practitoners assess all the under 12s who visit the surgery.  Where necessary the doctor also sees your child. This in no way removes the choice of the patient to see the doctor, in fact it has increased the availability of appointments for all our patients.
