The Practice Team
Practice Nurses
Our Practice Nurses are available by appointment for various treatments, contraceptive advice, health promotion advice and screening, including smears, immunisations and vaccinations.
The Nurses are qualified to advise and treat many minor conditions and the Doctor is always available if you have any cause for concern.
When booking an appointment with a Practice Nurse, our Reception Staff will need to ask you the reason for an appointment in order to determine how much time to allocate. Consultations are by appointment.
Practice Manager
Our Practice Manager is responsible for the smooth and efficient running of the Practice. If you wish to make any enquiries or have a comment about the service we provide she will be happy to help.
Reception Staff and Administration Staff
Our Reception Staff are here to help you. When telephoning for medical attention our Reception Staff may ask for a few details. The doctors have asked them to make these enquiries so that they can help you in the most appropriate way. Our Reception Staff have undertaken special training and always respect patient confidentiality.

Their telephone number is 01702 220810.
Midwives care for and support pregnant women, their partners and new babies before, during and after the birth. They monitor the health of the mother, counsel her on health issues and explain the options for delivery of the baby.
Their job also involves reassuring parents, running antenatal and parenting classes, taking care of the mother and baby during labour and birth and giving advice on breast feeding.
District Nurses
The District Nursing Team for the Practice is based at Leigh Primary Care Centre, 918 London Road, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex SS9 3NG.
District nurses assess, plan and manage the care of sick and disabled patients of all ages in the patient's own home, general practices and residential nursing homes and also provide support for their carers.
Individual care is planned, and advice on further help or services is given including health education. Anyone at home can self-refer to this service. The nurses have a close liaison with the Hospital, GPs, the local hospice and other specialised services. They administer drugs, give injections, dress wounds, take blood samples and give personal care.
The district nurses are in regular contact with the Practice and messages may be left with the District Nurse Liaison Office on 01702 372070.
