Our nurses are all highly qualified and have a wide variety of skills and specialty qualifications.

Practice nurses are qualified and registered nurses. They can help with health issues such as family planning, healthy living advice, blood pressure checks and dressings. The practice nurses run clinics for long-term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes, minor ailment clinics and carry out cervical smears.

Healthcare assistants support practice nurses with their daily work and carry out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement, smoking cessation, assist doctors with minor surgery, NHS Health Checks and new patient checks. They may act as a chaperone when a patient or doctor requests one.
