Nurse Practitioner
Nurse Practitioner Service
We have a service which we hope will improve access for
patients. Julia Knight, one of our most experienced practice
nurses, and Maggie Davis have become Nurse Practitioners who can
deal with many conditions which patients may previously have
felt necessary to be seen by a doctor.
The list of conditions Julia and Maggie have been trained to
deal with includes, upper respiratory tract infections, sore
throat, earache, cough, flu, sinusitis, hay fever, nosebleeds,
acute asthma, headache, neck pain and back ache, head injury and
dizziness. Conjunctivitis, rashes, eczema, nappy rash, warts,
infected in growing toe nails, head lice, moles, bites and
stings. Abdominal problems which includes diarrhoea and
sickness, cystitis, abdominal pain, indigestion, balanitis,
rectal bleeding and threadworms. Gynaecological problems which
includes vaginal discharge, painful periods, emergency
contraception and missed pills.
You will be able to make appointments to see Julia or Maggie who
will be working alongside the duty doctor.
We hope patients will find this service useful.
