Our nursing team, Liz Towlson, Laura Dudley, Beth Taylor and Anna Davis hold sessions every day. They are supported by our GP Assistants, Sharon Cross and Charlotte Oram.
Liz is a fully qualified Nurse Practitioner. This means that as well as looking after her own patients on a day –to- day basis, she is available as an alternative to the GP’s for most urgent same day appointments.
As well as general nursing and ongoing patient monitoring tasks, the nurses are available to give health advice, undertake health checks, take cervical smear tests and to arrange routine and travel injections.
They also complete regular monitoring checks for those patients with ongoing, long term conditions such as diabetes, heart and respiratory disease.
When booking an appointment to see our practice nurses, the receptionist will ask what the appointment is for. This to to ensure that you are allocated sufficient time for your appointment.
We are constantly reviewing the way in which our nurse’s work and we envisage that the range of services that they are able to offer will continue to develop. We would be interested to hear your views on how our nursing services should be shaped for the future.
