I enjoy all aspects of General practice with a special interest in orthopaedics and dermatology.

Advanced Nurse Practitioners
Advanced Nurse Practitioners all have a Masters degree in Advanced Nursing Practice. They undertake many of the tasks traditionally handled by doctors, including diagnosis, writing prescriptions, arranging tests, and referral. They are part of our same day team appointment system. Patients can book appointments with nurses as well as with doctors.
They give valued assistance to the doctors by seeing patients and prescribing medication where necessary.
