Nadine
Lead Practice Nurse
Introduction
My role is to look after the health needs of our population – this is a very varied role and can be anything from doing baby and children immunisations, to managing Long Term Conditions such as Diabetes, as well as cervical screening (smear) tests, wound care, and adult immunisations. We also take blood and check blood pressure if needed. Every day is different! I worked in call centres for some time eventually working as a call handler for the North East Ambulance Service, I then joined Prospect as a Healthcare Assistant and went on to do my Nurse training. Once I had qualified I worked in A&E and then decided to come back out into Primary Care and did a full circle back to Prospect as a Practice Nurse!
