The nursing team run our various clinics and are available in the practice for treatments such as dressings, removal of stitches, blood pressure monitoring, NHS health checks (lifestyle advice), cervical smears, ECGs, travel advice and injections. The team consists of advanced nurse practitioners, practice nurses and a healthcare assistant.
We currently have two very experienced Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANP’s) who are tasked with minor illness and support the GPs exclusively. Which means that they can see/speak to you quicker and if needed, refer or consult with a GP should the need arise.
They will usually be speaking to you on the triage call backs and arranging further treatment. You will often notice that they spend the mornings on the reception, talking to patients that ring into the practice and resolving a lot of issues for our patients in the moment.
