Practice Nurse vacancy
As advertised in the West Briton of 2nd and 9th of September, we currently have a temporary vacancy for one full-time or two part-time practice nurses to commence work from mid-October 2010 until December 2011 to cover the maternity leave of our Senior Practice Nurse. Ideally, candidates will have asthma, immunisations and cytology skills but we are interested to hear from all practice nurses who may be interested.

Telephone System
The Surgery operates an automated telephone system. We introduced this because too much time was being taken up transferring calls within the surgery causing lines to be blocked and occasionally making it difficult for patients to get through at busy times.
Repeat Prescriptions
If you are taking medicines that should be continued for more than one month you will be issued with a prescription counterfoil containing your personal details (name, address, age, date of birth) and a list of the medicines you are taking.
