Our Services
We offer the full range of services to all our patients. We have General Practitioners and Nurse Practitioners available to look after you.
A Nurse Practitioner has completed advanced education and training in a specific area of clinical practice, combining the best of nursing with some skills from medicine. They can deliver a large proportion of the services the average person needs, in terms of minor acute illness and long-term conditions such as asthma and diabetes.
Nurse Practitioners have the same right and access to services as medical staff within the hospital-based services even though they work in primary care. This includes being able to refer patients to specialist services within the hospital. They have the right to order the full range of diagnostics they require within their scope of practice and to refer patients for admission to inpatients services following discussion with relevant clinical personnel.
