Practice Nurses

Our practice nurses hold surgeries each morning and afternoon Monday to Friday. They can treat or advise on:

Dressings, injections, blood tests, blood pressure checks, weight checks, travel advice and vaccinations.

They can also carry out chronic disease management and full health promotion screening. Please make an appointment at the surgery or by phone.

District Nurses

Our district nurses work closely with the doctors at the Apples and are able to provide treatment at home. The nurses can advise about care and convalescence after discharge from hospital. They can also advise on general health care and give help, information and support to carers. Messages for the district nurses can be left at reception or by telephoning their office at the Yeatman Hospital on number 01935 813991 and asking for the District Nurses.

Health Visiting Team

Our health visitors are located at the surgery, they can be reached by telephoning 01935 816 790. The best time to contact them is Monday - Wednesday between 8.00am -10.00am. Our receptionist can help if there is no reply, or a message can be left on their answer phone, 01935 816 790.

The health visitor's role is that of "The Family Visitor" concentrating mainly on the under 5's, but she is also available to see patients in all groups if needed.

The team members work closely with us to care for patients with psychiatric problems, enabling them to live in the community.

Cancer Care Nurse

The Cancer Care nurse works alongside the doctors and nurses to give advice, support and care to patients living with cancer. This help is offered either when cancer is diagnosed or at any time during the illness and extends to the whole family, if needed.
