ATTACHED STAFF
A number of district nurses and health visitors are attached to the practice:
District Nurse Team Leader
Jill Becket RN RM DNCert Ba PGCPE
Independant Prescriber and Practice Educator
District nurses provide highly
skilled nursing care for patients and their families who are either too ill to
attend the surgery for treatment, or who are frail or in some way infirm.
They work collaboratively with other agencies including social services, who
will provide personal care (meals on wheels etc), occupational therapists, the
palliative care team or any other specialist service.
The district nurses provide a seven day service, providing care from 8.30am -
4.30pm and are contactable by telephoning the surgery. An emergency evening service
is also provided between 7.00pm - 11.00pm and this is contactable via the out-of-hours
service.
Part of the role of the district nurses is to partake in education and this will
involve student nurse training and specialist practice degree training.
The district nurses co-ordinate and run the treatment room at Finedon Health
Centre. Telephone reception for an appointment.

of ill health. The health visitors are contactable by telephoning the surgeries.
