Practice nurses are qualified and registered nurses. They can help with health issues such as family planning, healthy living advice, blood pressure checks and dressings. The practice nurses run clinics for long-term health conditions such as asthma, hypertension, COPD, hypothyroidism or diabetes, minor ailment clinics and carry out cervical smears and family planning checks.

Healthcare assistants support practice nurses with their daily work and carry out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement and new patient checks. They may act as a chaperone when a patient or doctor requests one.

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.

Anne, also known as "Mother Superior of Matron" joined the practice in February 2001, and ever since she has been trying to keep the Doctors and Patient's happy alike, not always an easy task!

Reception is a busy, and multi-tasking is essential to deal with telephones, appointments, mail, scanning, prescriptions etc and all with a smile!
