The role of an Advanced Nurse Practitioner differs in comparison to a Practice nurse. Responsibilities of an Advanced Nurse Practitioner can include, diagnosing health conditions, conducting check-ups, researching patient conditions, referring patients to specialists, maintaining records of patient medical history and prescribing and administering medication. Practice nurses are qualified and registered nurses, they can help with health issues such as family planning, healthy living advice, blood pressure checks and dressings. The practice nurses run clinics for long-term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes, minor ailment clinics and carry out cervical smears. As their roles are different it is helpful, when making an appointment, if patients specify what it is for to ensure booking with the correct nurse. We do not want you to have a wasted journey.

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries and dealing with patient records.
