All our Practice Nurses are registered general nurses with additional specialist qualifications appropriate to their duties. They perform dressings, injections, blood tests, vaccinations etc and advise on health problems and travel vaccinations. The nurses are also specially trained to work in the many specialised clinics run by the practice. You can make an appointment for the treatment room or a specialised clinic through reception.

The receptionists are usually your first point of contact with the Practice. They will help you obtain the medical and nursing services you require. They are often working under pressure and therefore will appreciate your co-operation and patience.

Our Healthcare Assistants support our medical team by performing basic clinical tasks such as taking blood samples, measuring blood pressure, conducting health checks, and assisting with minor procedures. They also provide administrative support, helping to ensure the smooth operation of the practice

Our experienced physiotherapists can provide a complete assessment of all musculoskeletal problems including joint, muscle and spinal problems. Our physios can do everything (and often more) than a GP can do including full clinical assessment, detailed advice, prescribing, joint injections, investigation with x-rays and scans, referral for ongoing physiotherapy and to specialists such as the orthopaedic service. For the best service, patients are encouraged to request an appointment with a physio for all musculoskeletal problems. If following their assessment, our physio feels they cannot adequately help or investigate your problem they will arrange an assessment by a GP.
