ASSOCIATED STAFF
District Nurses
Our District Nurses visit patients in their own home to provide skilled nursing care and to give advice and support to relatives and carers. They may be contacted by ringing the community clerk on 0117 9082378.
Health Visitors
Our Health Visitors are particularly interested in preventative care and offer advice on the health of mothers, babies and children. They can be contacted by ringing the community clerk on 0117 9082378.
Midwives
Our Midwives work with the doctors to provide antenatal and postnatal care for our patients. It is very important that you contact the practice as soon as you think you are pregnant to make a booking appointment with the midwife. Weekly antenatal clinics are held at the Primary Care Centre by appointment with the midwife. Pre-pregnancy information and advice can also be discussed with the midwife.
The midwives can be contacted by ringing the community clerk on 0117 9082378.
Treatment Room
Experienced nurses who can give advice on minor ailments and injuries and foreign travel precautions staff the well-equipped treatment room. They can also perform electrocardiograms, dressing changes, blood and urine tests, immunisations and other injections and treatments as requested by the doctor. These services are by appointment only. Please ring the Community Clerk on 0117 9082378 for the opening times.
Community Matron
The community matron and her team specialise in caring for older people, whether they live in their own home or a care home. They aim to help patients manage their health problems and so prevent unnecessary admissions to hospital. If patients are admitted they liaise with the hospital team to ensure a faster, effective discharge.
