The Nurses

We have a team of three practice nurses: Sue Beach, Caroline Hadley and Caroline Lazarus. They all treat patients for minor injuries, travel advice/immunisation, pre-school checks/immunisations, lifestyle advice including smoking and obesity monitoring, smear tests, family planning and sexual health matters.

We also have a nurse practitioner: Catherine Bulpitt, who in addition to the above is able to diagnose and treat (and provide appropriate prescriptions) for minor illnesses such as acne, minor respiratory complaints, sore throats, conjunctivitis, eczema/dermatitis, hay fever and female complaints provided that the patient is over the age of 12.

All of our practice nurses will also provide chronic disease management. All are able to see patients for hypertension. Sue Beach is also responsible for diabetes management and Catherine Bulpitt for asthma management.

We have two phlebotomists who are chiefly responsible for all blood tests. They also fit heart monitors, perform ECG's and hearing tests and assist with minor surgery.

We would request that when you make an appointment it is made with the most appropriate practitioner, whenever possible. We do appreciate however, that you may not wish to divulge information to anyone other than the nurse regarding your visit to the practice.
