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.

Nurse Practitioner

We now have a Nurse Practitioner, who works supporting the Doctors with Home visits, chronic disease management and test results. If you ring for a Home visit you will usually be telephoned by the Nurse who will ask more details than the receptionist has. The Doctors are aware of all visits and if appropriate you will be visited by the Nurse rather than the Doctor.

Healthcare assistants support practice nurses with their daily work and carry out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement, ear syringing, simple dressings and new patient checks. They may act as a chaperone when a patient or doctor requests one.

I took over the role of Practice Manager in June 2014 after working at the Surgery for the previous 8 years, my role was previously the Surgery Business Manager. One of my main roles as the Practice Manager is to ensure the Surgery runs efficiently to provide the best possible experience and outcome for all patients. There are times when things do not run smoothly or there are problems that cannot be sorted out at Reception. Please do contact me, I will do my best to resolve any problems you have. I am committed to supporting the patients and staff at the Surgery.

A little about myself. I was a Registered Nurse for over 25years working on a surgical ward, in occupational health, elderly care and in private health care managerment. I have two grown up children, I have a passion for Giraffes and enjoy going on trips with my husband in our vintage motorbike and sidecar, please wave if you see us!

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. they have a very busy and difficult job to do, dealing with telephone and over the desk enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, filing notes and scanning hospital letters, giving out test reults, updating patient records and registering new patients.

The secretaries deal with the doctors’ letters and referrals to hospitals and clerical tasks. The secretaries also record a great deal of information on the computer system. As you will see, a great deal of work goes on behind the scenes to give you, the patient, a pleasant friendly practice.

A health visitor is a registered nurse who has received training particularly related to babies, children and pregnant women. Their role is to provide families with children under five years old with support and advice around the general aspects of mental, physical and social wellbeing.

The practice is fortunate to be situated next to Neston Clinic, where our Multi Disciplinary team is based. Many other health professionals work at nearby clinics or in the surgery:

• Phlebotomist
• Community Midwives
• Community Psychiatric Nurses
• Counsellors
• Dietician
• Physiotherapist
• Wellbeing Co-ordinator

They all form part of our extended “primary care team” and together we hope to give you a unified approach to health care.
