Dispensers
We have fully trained dispensers who dispense medication for our patients under the supervision of the doctors.
District Nurses
Patients who are confined to their homes and need nursing care may arrange with their doctor for a district nurse to visit. The hospital will normally arrange for a district nurse to visit patients discharged from hospital who still need nursing care. The district nurses call at the surgery every day and messages may be left for them at reception.
