Community Nurses
The Community Nursing team work under Lincolnshire Community Health Services and visit patients at home who are physically unable to leave their homes to attend appointments. The nurses provide care to meet a variety of health needs including wound care, advice regarding continence, medication administration and care for palliative patients at the end of their lives. The team works in partnership with patients and their families by offering health education and are able to refer to other agencies for support. The Community Nurses run clinics based at two of the town surgeries to provide wound care, Leg Ulcer management and removal of sutures for patients who are not housebound and are able to get to a surgery. You can make a referral for Community Nursing assistance on 0300 123 4868.
If you are new to the area and wish to register with a doctor, call at reception with your medical card and the receptionist will book a new registration appointment for you with one of the GP's or the Practice Nurse. If you cannot find your medical card the receptionist will give you a form to complete. Please remember that our receptionists have a very difficult and demanding job.
If you do appear to be kept waiting or appear to be asked one or two personal questions, we know you will understand that the receptionists are carrying out instructions to help you get the best from the practice and to help the practice run smoothly. You may be asked for some general details concerning your symptoms when requesting an urgent appointment or home visit. Please be assured that this information is treated in the strictest confidence and is only requested to offer you the appropriate service and to enable the doctor to plan home visits according to the urgency of the request
