Nurses
Our practice nurses are available to see patients, by appointment, during surgery hours. They can be seen for dressings, immunisations, ear syringing and general advice on health matters. The practice nurses also run clinics for family planning, asthma, diabetes, and other health related problems. In addition, practice nurses may also be seen for well-woman checks, which include cervical smears. To contact a practice nurse or make an appointment, please ring your usual surgery during surgery hours.
