Practice Nurse Team

As the Queen’s Nursing Institute suggests
“A practice nurse will be involved in almost every aspect of patient care and treatment, undertaking such tasks as:

  • Treating small injuries
  • Helping with minor operations done under local anaesthetic
  • Helping people manage long term conditions
  • Health screening
  • Family planning
  • Running vaccination programmes (e.g., against flu)
  • Running programmes to help people to stop smoking.

Nurses working in General Practice are undertaking an ever-wider range of roles, with experienced nurses assuming more of the traditional workload of GPs.” General Practice Nurses – The Queen’s Nursing Institute
