Medical Students

Although the practice is not a training practice, from time to time a senior medical student may accompany one of the doctors. Your help in allowing them to listen and learn would be much appreciated, but you will always be asked beforehand if this is acceptable to you.

District Nurses

As part of the Primary Health Care Trust, the district nurses work in partnership with patients, their families, carers and other health care services. For those patients who are housebound, our service offers skilled nursing care, advice and support.
