Clinics & Services

Treatment Room Services

The treatment room nurses carry out many procedures including; blood tests, ear syringing, injections, blood pressure checks, dressing of wounds.

Patients are referred to the treatment room by the doctor or Practice Nurse. Patients will be assessed for suitability and eligibility by a health care professional before receiving treatment, such as ear irrigation.

Due to high demand for some services, the practice operates a waiting list service. Patients may be added to a waiting list for some treatments or tests and will be contacted in due course.
