If You Are Advised To Contact A District Nurse
Ring the district nurses on 0113 842 3355. The district nurses help with nursing care at home for those patients who have just been released from hospital or who require continued nursing care at home.
If you are caring for someone who is terminally ill at home, the district nurses care may be supplemented by Macmillan care nurses or palliative care nurses.
If You Are Advised To Contact A Health Visitor
Health visitors are primarily concerned with baby and child welfare, especially in the early days after delivery. You can contact them by ringing 0800 731 0640, 0113 247 4386 or by visiting their website at www.thefamilyhubleeds.org/catsearch.aspx?s=UEarlyStart. (Have your postcode ready to hand.)
Medical Students
Ours is a training practice for medical students. From time to time Year 3 and Year 4 students sit in with our GPs as part of their training. We feel that we are playing a valuable role in the education of the next generation of doctors, and feedback from ‘real’ patients in the GP surgery is an important part of their learning.
Year 5 students carry out their own consultations under the supervision of one of our GPs. You will always be asked for your permission for a student to be present during your consultation, and you have the right to refuse.
