Community Matron
The Community works closely with the Doctors and nurses in the practice (and other practices in the locality) to case manage patients with complex long-term conditions particularly with a view to preventing hospital admissions
Health Visitors and Team
Family & Children’s Support Worker
Health Visitors are qualified nurses who are specially trained to advise on the care of children and the elderly. If you require the help of a Health Visitor, please telephone 0115 9935582 to make an appointment.
Midwife
She will share your antenatal care with your doctor and the hospital. She has a weekly clinic at the surgery by appointment and will provide advice and support both during your pregnancy and after the birth of your baby.
District Nurses
The district nurses will visit patients at home when they are unable to attend the surgery. They are responsible for all aspects of nursing care in the home. This may range from basic post-operative wound care through to palliative end of life care for those who wish to die at home. The service includes a full, comprehensive assessment of the individual’s needs, supply of equipment and if appropriate, referral can be made to other agencies.
The District Nurses telephone number at the Calverton Clinic is 0300 083 0100
School Nurse
The school nurses are based in school but they do work closely with the practice. They can be contacted through the clinic next door to the surgery or via the local schools.
