They provide the full range of treatment room procedures and also offer expertise in travel advice and immunisations, health promotion and family planning matters. They also run chronic disease management clinics including asthma, diabetes, hypertension, stroke and coronary heart disease. Joanne also leads our minor illness clinic (see Clinics and Other Services). You would normally see nurses by appointment and you may leave a message for them at reception.

Our health visitors are Barbara McLeod (RGN BEd Dip HV) and Natalie Burns (RGN RN RM HV BSc (Health Study), F Dip Nursing/Midwifery Pgd (public health). They are assisted by Isobel McLucas (RGN, BSc Nursing, Bachelor Community Nursing), who is our health visitor support nurse. They have expertise in preventive health including routine immunisation, care and development of babies and pre-school children, care of the elderly and general health promotion. There is a regular baby clinic and also a smoking cessation clinic. The health visitors are able to see people in the surgery or at home if necessary.

District Nurses

Our district nurses are Eleanor Gair (RGN SCM DN Cert), Alana Hunter (RGN) and Elspeth Threlfall. They provide nursing care for patients at home when necessary. In addition they also hold clinics at the practice, for example, for dressings. They may be contacted directly on telephone number 232 9000, or by leaving a message at reception.

Community Midwives

We have an attached community midwife from the Queen Mother's Hospital and she helps to run our antenatal clinic. She or one of her colleagues visits all mothers at home after the birth of a new baby.

Community Psychiatric Nurses

CPNs are also part of the primary care team. They are based in mental health resource centres, which function on a geographical basis according to where you live. The two main resource centres for our area are Riverside Resource Centre, telephone number 211 1430 and Shawpark Resource Centre, telephone number 531 8770. The name of our own practice-attached CPN is Stuart Lygate. You can see him by appointment after your GP has made that recommendation. Stuart can be contacted on 435 4340 or, alternatively, you can leave a message for him at the reception.

Social Workers

If you require the services of the social work department, you will be referred to a social worker at your local office. For Partick, Hillhead and Hyndland they can be contacted on 276 3100, and for Maryhill and Kelvinside the contact number is 276 6200.

Receptionists

The practice employs a number of reception staff, led by senior receptionists Mae and Christine.

All of our receptionists are here to help you. Although you will be mostly aware of them at the reception desk and on the telephone, they are responsible for a wide range of clerical duties. We would be grateful for your help in understanding the problems which they often face in trying to accommodate everyone. Be assured that any information discussed with them is kept strictly confidential.
