The Nursing Staff
Practice Nurses:
We have a multi-skilled, practice employed
nursing team providing various services such as
chronic disease management, health promotion and
treatment room services. Clinics are available
Monday to Friday 8.00am – 6.30pm and we also
offer a small selection of early and late
appointments outside of these times to
accommodate patients who cannot attend during
normal opening hours. If you are totally
housebound and cannot travel to the surgery we
can arrange for a home visit by one of our
nurses for any necessary reviews.

Pip
Rogers, Practice Paramedic
Pip is our paramedic. He was with the
Ambulance service for 20 years before coming to
our practice. He deals with many minor ailments,
and you may get an appointment with Pip rather
than a Doctor. He will perform thorough
examination and assessment of your problem,
arrange a prescription if required and provide
relevant advice and reassurance. |
