Practice Nurses
Patients should indicate the purpose of their appointment when making appointments to see the nurse, so that the receptionist can allocate the appropriate length of appointment.
The health care assistant is trained to carry out new patient health checks, phlebotomy, the giving of lifestyle advice, some vaccinations as directed by our GPs, ECGs and routine blood pressure monitoring. Patients will normally be allocated to the health care assistant for these services.
