There are 3 Practice Nurses at Billinghay Medical Practice. Their roles and experience varied and the patients they see through the course of a day are very individual requiring them to continually adapt to the needs of the patient they are seeing.
The nurses normally start their working day at 8.30am and work until 6.30pm every day (with some extended clinics on a Wednesday until 7.45pm).
Their daily routine before the clinics start is:
Clinic appointments are between 10-50 minutes dependant on the patient and review type.
In treatment room clinics we can typically see patients for the following:
Two of the nurses also see patients for annual Chronic Disease (Long-term conditions) reviews. These include:
As required, we are required to assist the GPs with coil fittings, implant fittings, minor surgery and pessary changes.
The Treatment room has the emergency equipment which is used during emergency situations (chest pain, asthma attacks, anaphylaxis etc). When this happens, the nurse stays with the patient and monitors vital signs, whilst waiting for the emergency services to take over.
After the clinics have finished for the day, we carry out various administration tasks that include:
