The Practice Nurses are involved in many activities in the surgery, including advice
about travel and giving vaccinations, blood sampling and ear syringing.
Sister Bennet has a special interest in the management of diabetes and
Sister Lynch has a special interest in the management of asthma. The
nurses are increasingly involved in chronic disease management.
Appointments can be made directly, or if appropriate, after consultation
with your doctor. They work from the treatment room in the surgery.
Please note that with changing roles, most of your routinue blood samples,
blood pressure readings and height and weight recordings will now be taken
by our trained phlebotomists, Linda Cater and Rhonda Miller. It is usually
more appropriate, if you require blood samples taken, to make an
appointment with one of our phlebotomists instead of the practice nurses. |
