Gill is an Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP).  ANP's have done additional training to assess, diagnose and prescribe for a number of conditions. Gill can order tests, refer and follow up both urgent and non urgent problems. The Receptionist may offer you an appointment with Gill rather than a GP or please ask if you would prefer this.

Gill specialises in respiratory conditions, diabetes, skin lesions, sexual health (including the fitting of contraceptive implants) and the menopause.

Laurie Lawson is a key member of the nursing team as our Health Care Support Worker (HCSW).

The HCSW has the awareness and ability to address the basic care needs of individual patients under the direction and supervision of healthcare professionals. They support the multidisciplinary team in the delivery of high quality care. Laurie is able to do dressings, take bloods and ECGs, give injections, do spirometry (lung function tests), ear irrigation and diabetes foot screening checks. Laurie also performs the annual Hypertension Reviews.

The practice manager is responsible for the management and administration of the practice. We are fortunate to have a team of experience reception staff who aim to provide an efficient and friendly service at all times. Mrs Mathie would be happy to hear your views and suggestions about the services provided by the practice.

Health Visitors are trained nurses who have gone on to complete further training in public health.  They specialise in the support and care of families with children under 5 years.  They work to the Universal Health Visiting Pathway and offer a core home visiting programme of 11 home visits to families and 3 child health reviews at 13 - 15 months, 27 - 30 months, and 4 - 5 years. 

Families who move into the area will also be offered a visit to introduce the service.

Additional support visits will take place as required for families with extra needs as negotiated with the family.

They are based at Skeith Health Centre and can be contacted on 01333 314312 (an answering machine is available outside office hours which are Monday to Friday 8.30am to 4.30pm).

There are also health visitor students and nursing students frequently working with the team.

The health visiting team can be contacted for any support and advice needed for your child's health and wellbeing.
