Nurses

Our highly qualified nurses deal with a range of conditions and health concerns. They examine and diagnose patients then plan care, including prescribing certain medications.  They are experts in many areas of disease management such as diabetes and asthma.

We currently have two advanced nurse practitioners and three nurses on staff.

Advanced nurse practitioners are highly-trained health professionals that can undertake complex reviews of patients, similar to GPs. They can assess symptoms and build a picture of a patient’s condition, treat minor health problems, infections, minor injuries and prescribe medication where necessary. They can also often manage more complicated problems, for instance, patients presenting with long-term health conditions, such as diabetes and COPD. 

What can advanced nurse practitioners help with?

• complex patient reviews/assessments
• diagnosing acute and chronic conditions
• treatment of minor illnesses
• prescribing and reviewing medication
• advising on prescribed medication
• evaluating treatment plans
• managing conditions holistically
• ensuring joined-up call for all patients
