Senior Sister Carole Ransom (left). Our Practice Nurses are available, by appointment, for Surgery nursing/care procedures such as treatments and dressings, ear syringing, vaccinations and immunisations, blood pressure readings, cervical smears and advice on minor illness. They will also give advice on preventative health care and are involved in the various Clinics run by The Practice. You do not need a referral by the Doctor to see a Practice Nurse.
