Helen - Nurse Practitioner

Helen has spent most of her nursing career working in general practice and has always had a special interest in chronic disease management. She specialised in Diabetes in a London hospital whilst working alongside GPs and Practice Nurses to upskill them and their knowledge around diabetes management. She became Lead Diabetes Specialist Nurse and gained the accolade of being presented with the Queens Nurse Award in 2017. Helen loves working on a one to one basis with patients supporting them with their long term condition and overcoming any challenges they may face.
Helen moved down to Poole three years ago when she joined the practice and enjoys the beautiful surroundings and more relaxed way of life. 

Practice Nurses

Both surgeries have attached practice nurses, full and part time. They normally see patients by appointment, but will consider a 'sit and wait' basis if circumstances permit. The nurses carry out general nursing services including stitch removal, ECGs, taking blood samples, dressings and wound care, treatment of minor accidents, verruca and wart treatments. Holiday vaccinations and advice are available - please contact the surgery at least two months beforehand.
