In addition our nurses may ask to spend some  time with you while you are waiting for your doctor. They will use this time to update your family health history, measure your blood pressure or weight/BMI and discuss routine screening for health problems such as bowel cancer and breast screening. This allows you to make the most of your time with your doctor by focussing on your most important concerns.

All of our nurses are trained to work in General Practice and participate in continuing professional development every year to maintain their registration.
