Our Nursing TeamOur highly qualified nurses deal with a range of conditions and health concerns. They provide care for patients with chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, coronary heart disease and hypertension, as well as offering support to patients wishing to stop smoking. They also provide other services such as minor illness consultations, wound care, childhood and travel immunisations, family planning, new patient health checks, minor operations, smear tests, blood pressure checks, ECGs and ear syringing. In addition they will visit patients at home in order to carry out specialist health assessments. Each nurse has several areas of speciality. Please check with a member of the reception staff at the time of booking an appointment which nurse will be most suitable for your medical needs. Practice ManagerMrs Brenda Stephens and our deputy practice manager Mrs Michele Cain are responsible for the efficient administration and co-ordination of all services within the practice. Reception StaffThe reception manager and her team are here to help you but as you will see when you visit us their job is extremely demanding. They answer the telephone and deal with enquiries from all directions - often all at the same time. Please be patient!
