Advanced Nurse Practitioner

Susie Simpson

Advanced Nurse Practitioners have done additional training beyond that of the general practice nurse, and use clinical, diagnostic and treatment skills. The role provides an alternative and complimentary source of healthcare alongside the services provided by the GP. You may be offered an ANP appointment for such things as chest infections/ENT problems/skin complaints/Urinary infections for example. The ANP will be able to provide prescriptions if clinically appropriate.

Nurses

Practice nurses are qualified and registered nurses. They can help with health issues such as family planning, healthy living advice, blood pressure checks and dressings. The practice nurses run clinics for long-term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes, minor ailment clinics and carry out cervical smears.

Healthcare Assistant

Healthcare assistants support practice nurses with their daily work and carry out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement and new patient checks. They may act as a chaperone when a patient or doctor requests one.

Administrators provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.
