Nurse practitioners
Our nurse practitioner works alongside the GPs providing appointments for patients presenting with urgent problems who require same day appointments. The nurse practitioner is able to assess, diagnose, and treat acute minor illnesses. Clinics are also provided for those patients with long term conditions and those requiring contraception services.
