Our practice nurses see patients by appointment (10 minutes duration) to provide a range of services.
In addition they dress wounds, provide pre- and post-operative care (swabs, suture removal & dressings) and syringe ears (after at least a week of olive oil to soften the wax).
Whilst they will be as flexible as possible it is usually very difficult to see patients without an appointment. Doing so means all the other patients who have made appointments will be kept waiting. The nurses are also able to give telephone advice.
