Nursing Team

The nursing team at the Surgery consists of 2 - 3 Practice Nurses who are available by appointment for a full range of nursing services such as:-

• Immunisations, including the flu vaccination from October each year & the pneumococcal vaccination (check with the nurse to see if you are eligible for these vaccinations on the NHS).
  
• Wound dressings
  
• Blood Pressure checks
  
• Health Promotion and long term illness clinics
  
• Cervical smears; remember that it is important for all women under the age of 65 years who have not had a hysterectomy, to have regular smears every three years
  
• Travel vaccinations; please leave plenty of time before travelling, as some vaccinations need to be given up to 4-6 weeks in advance of travelling. A fee will be charged for some vaccinations that are not covered on the NHS.
