District Nurses help to care for housebound patients. They assess the nursing needs of housebound patients of all ages, and provide care and support for those patients. They have special expertise in areas such as wound care and care of the dying.

Though the District Nurses are not based in the surgery, we have regular contact with them and our doctors work very closely with them. If you think you need the services of a District Nurse, please contact the surgery.

The community Midwife will perform all your ante-natal checks, do all the relevant blood tests and arrange all necessary ante-natal scans. If there are any ante-natal concerns she will either refer you back to your GP or pass you on to the Consultant Obstetric team for advice.

The midwife will be involved in the delivery of your baby and she will look after both mother and baby until baby is 10days old.

Postnatal check (at 6/8weeks post delivery) will be done by the practice nurse. Ante-natal clinics are held at the surgery. Our Midwife can be contacted on 01429 522279 between 9am-10am.
