Our practice nurses, who are all registered general nurses, are on duty during surgery hours to carry out treatments prescribed by the doctor and to deal with minor injuries and illnesses. They are also involved in the management of our patients with asthma, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and chronic lung disease. Four of our nurses are qualified to perform cervical smears and provide contraceptive advice.

When booking an appointment with the nurse, please advise the receptionist of the reason for your visit in order that the appropriate time can be allocated to a nurse or healthcare assistant.

The HCAs are specially trained in various aspects of care to assist the practice nurses in areas such as phlebotomy (taking blood samples), blood pressure, ECGs and other tests and treatments.

There is a full supporting staff of secretaries, receptionists and administrative and IT personnel, most working on a part-time, shift basis to allow the surgery to be open into the evening for your convenience. These are the people who will welcome you to the practice, make your appointments, answer your general enquiries, organise your repeat prescription and assist clerically in any referrals that may be necessary. The team ensures that each surgery session operates smoothly and efficiently.

They assist the Manager in ensuring the efficient day-to-day running of the practice, including maintaining efficient filing systems, dealing with correspondence and organising clinics and medicals.

Practice Business and Development Manager role:

The Practice Manager is responsible for the management, administration, finance, general organisation and the development of the practice. She should be contacted with any non-medical queries, problems and suggestions you may have with regard to our service. We always welcome ideas for improvement.

Together with the doctor, the community midwife provides care and advice during your pregnancy and the postnatal period. She sees patients by appointment in the surgery or may be contacted by telephoning Watford Hospital 01923 217361/6.

The district nurses who are based in Apsley are in close daily contact with the doctors. They visit, treat and advise patients who are housebound on general care and referral to other agencies.

Our two health visitors are qualified nurses with midwifery experience who have undergone further training to obtain the Health Visitors Certificate. As advisers on child care, they are notified of the birth of babies and will visit new parents at home to offer support and advice.

They play a major part in operating Child Health Surveillance and Immunisation Clinics and will always be pleased to discuss any aspect of family life with the ability to refer to other agencies which may be of help. Contact them on their central number of : 01442 285837
