The Nursing Team at Wrington Vale Medical Practice

We are fortunate to have a well balanced team combining highly experienced qualified nurses supported by a growing team of Health Care Assistants (sometimes called "Phlebotomists" or "blood nurses")

Qualified Nurses

Janet Howe is the specialist Family Planning Nurse. All the above nurses do reviews of patients with chronic diseases (asthma, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension) as well as cervical smears, treatment of minor injury, wound dressings, ear syringing,  vaccinations and immunisations, travel vaccinations and advice.  They provide health promotion including advice on diet, weight and exercise.

Health Care Assistants
