Practice Nurses
The maximum availability of appointments to see the nurses is during the morning surgeries but there are also some appointments during afternoons. The patient should indicate the purpose of their appointment when making appointments to see the nurse, so that the receptionist can allocate the appropriate length of appointment.
The health care assistant is trained to carry out new patient health checks, phlebotomy, the giving of lifestyle advice and routine blood pressure monitoring. Patients will normally be allocated to the health care assistant for these services.
Practice nurses provide first line management of previously diagnosed chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma and hypertension.
Nursing services include:
- Blood testing
- Blood pressure
- Elderly health check
- Well Person health check
- Healthy lifestyle
- Smoking cessation
- Influenza vaccinations
- Travel vaccinations
- Travel advice
- Diabetic checks
- Asthma checks
- Pneumococcal vaccinations
- Contraceptive advice
- Cervical smear tests
Asthma
If you have been advised by the surgery that you are due an annual asthma review, please download an asthma management plan and bring this with you to your appointment.
Influenza and Pneumonia Vaccinations
These vaccinations are routinely offered to patients as an aid in the prevention of Influenza and Pneumonia. It is particularly important that patients with reduced immunity to acquired infections have these vaccinations.
This includes:
- Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
- Diabetic patients
- Patients with Asthma
- Patients with CHD
- Over 65s
The consequences for these patients in having flu or pneumonia may be much more serious than for a healthy patient.
