Nurse Appointments
Appointments are available at reception or online for members of the nursing team. A wide range of services are offered as you will see from the list below. As different services may require differing amounts of time, it helps if you are prepared to advise reception of the purpose of your appointment. There is, however, no compulsion to do this, and your confidentiality will be respected at all times.
