Long Term Condition Clinics
In response to customer feedback, we noted that many of our most vulnerable patients who found it difficult to get into the surgery in the first place were being bombarded with appointments for one check or an other. Where possible we will try and co-ordinate your appointments so that they can be done in one visit with multiple clinicians. We are getting excellent feedback that this is working well and saves multiple journeys into the surgery and lots of waiting around.
Nurses
The nurses can offer help with minor ailments, routine and travel injections, immunisations, dressings, removing stitches etc. They are very involved in health promotion and can provide general advice on a wide range of health concerns.
