RGN, MSc Advanced Nursing Practice, Independent Nurse Prescriber

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 INR monitoring, cervical screening and long-term health conditions such as asthma or diabetes.

Debbie supports our practice nurses with their daily work and carries out tasks such as phlebotomy (drawing blood), blood pressure measurement and urine testing. Debbie can also provide flu immunisations.

The practice manager is involved in managing all of the business aspects of the practice such as making sure that the right systems are in place to provide a high quality of patient care, human resources, finance, patient safety, premises and equipment and information technology. The practice manager supports the GPs and other medical professionals with delivering patient services and also helps to develop extended services to enhance patient care.

Our Administration team, including secretaries and patient database administrator, work behind the scenes to deal with correspondence received by the practice, including reports and results from all departments within NHS Grampian.  Invitation letters are also sent by this department for the various clinics that are available at the practice.  The team is also responsible for ensuring that our patients' records are kept up to date.
