BETTER HEALTH
Do you know what an Advanced Nurse Practitioner does?
I learned more about the benefits these crucial roles are bringing to you and other local patients. These dedicated professionals not only ease the workload on our GPs, but help to reduce waiting times for all of us too, letting those with the most complicated conditions get the attention they really need from a GP more quickly.
You may not know that Advanced Nurse Practitioners can diagnose and prescribe medicines for many conditions, bringing faster relief to patients than waiting unnecessarily for a doctor. And they make invaluable at-home visits too, just like we used to get from Hook Surgery when I was growing up here, which helps those who can’t come into the GP surgery themselves.
It's clear that these healthcare heroes are making a real difference in our community, providing quality care when and where it's needed most. Thank you to the Whitewater Health team for the warm welcome and for the outstanding work you do every day to keep our community healthy and thriving.
