Our Clinics

We have a team of experienced and highly trained practice nurses who run a comprehensive and dynamic service covering health promotion, disease prevention, minor injuries/wound management, chronic disease management and women's health.

An appointment with a nurse rather than a GP may be suitable for patients requiring chronic disease monitoring.

In addition there are daily appointments reserved for emergencies.

You may refer yourself directly to the nurse or the doctor may refer you.
