Practice Nurses
We have two practice nurses within the group. Their various tasks
include general health checks, well person checks, asthma and
diabetes control, travel advice and dietary and smoking cessation
advice.
Practice Treatment Room Nurses
Nurses are available in the treatment rooms during every weekday.
You may make an appointment to see the treatment room nurses if you
require dressings, injections or treatment for sprains, cuts, etc.
They perform blood tests, ECGs, etc under the direction of the GP
and will always refer you to your doctor if they consider this
necessary.

Practice Manager
Mrs Marjorie Spires is responsible for the overall smooth running
and organisation of the practice. She will be happy to hear your
comments, both good and bad. Her office is at the Hurstpierpoint
Health Centre but she will be happy to meet with you at any of the
surgeries.
Reception Staff
The reception staff will assist you in making emergency and routine
appointments to see your doctor, undertake repeat prescriptions,
answer numerous and varied questions and offer help and assistance
at all times. It is a legal requirement that confidentiality of
patient records is maintained at the highest level by all staff and
a copy of our Confidentiality Policy is displayed at each of the
Health Centres.

Community Midwife
A community midwife is attached to each of the surgeries. Please
contact her as soon as your pregnancy is confirmed. She will share
with your doctor in your antenatal care and arrange for you to
attend parentcraft classes. She will also care for you and your baby
after delivery.
Community Nurses
Community nurses are attached to the practice and visit patients who
are confined to their homes and need nursing assistance. This may be
arranged through your Health Centre or by ringing them direct on
01273 845932.
Health Visitors
Health visitors have a major interest in preventative care. They can
give advice on health care, particularly for expectant mothers,
small children and the handicapped. All families with children under
five years old have a health visitor. They can see you at their
regular Child Health Clinic or at any of the groups they run, or
they may visit you at home. Their aim is to provide information and
support to families on all aspects of health care and healthy
living. They can be contacted by telephoning your Health Centre.
Community Psychiatric Nurses
CPNs are attached to each Health Centre, working partly with the GPs
and as members of the community mental health team. They are
accessed via the GP. The practice is also pleased to offer limited
access to in-house counsellors.
