The duties of the practice nurse include working in the treatment room where they will deal with emergencies, take blood tests, do dressings and remove sutures and give other necessary treatments. Appointments may be made with the practice nurse by booking them through the receptionist. Any person is free to make an appointment with her if they have a problem or require advice and feel that it is not necessary to consult the doctor about it. The nurses will carry out baby vaccinations, diabetic and asthma reviews and any other long term condition reviews that are needed. |
