COMMUNITY STAFF

District Nurses

We  have  a  small  group  of  nurses  who  care  for  patients  who  are  unable  to  visit  our  surgery.  These  nurses provide services such as dressings, catheter care, blood testing, end of life care to name but a few.

Community Nurse

Our  Practice  Nurse,  Nichola,  also  doubles  up  as  our  Community  Nurse.  She  visits  our  housebound patients  who  require  more  routine  care.  She  provides  annual  reviews  for  those  with  chronic  diseases,  such  as Diabetes  and  heart  disease  and,  alongside  the  GP’s  she  also  carries  out  weekly  ward  rounds  at  the  two nursing home that we have responsibility for.

Health Visitors

We have a group of Health Visitors who care for children and parents in our community.

Midwives

We  have  weekly  antenatal  clinics  at  the  surgery  which  are  attended  by  new  and  expectant  mothers.  Midwives also see patients within the community.
