Our Practice Nurses have retired.  We have a limited amount of resources that we must work within, so when our nurse retired we decided to invest in more time from our Advanced  Pharmacist (Sandra Cahill).  She can help people manage their long-term conditions. Sandra works Monday to Thursday. 

In many cases it is more appropriate to ask for an appointment with Sandra rather than a doctor. Sandra is a qualified prescriber and is able to deal with many conditions. These include:

  • Asthma and COPD (Sandra)
  • High blood pressure (Sandra)
  • Angina and heart disease (Sandra
  • Diabetes (Sandra)
  • Cervical smears - carried out twice a month by a locum nurse telephone the surgery for an appointment

Our health care assistant Anne is also happy to help you with advice on keeping healthy, for example:  Anne works Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday all day 

  • Blood pressure checks
  • Weight loss advice
  • Exercise advice, including Live Active referrals
  • Alcohol brief intervention
  • Help with smoking cessation
