Practice Nurses
There are two practice nurses at Allendale Health Centre.
Liz Hughan.
Gudrun Heslop.
Each practice nurse is responsible for different areas of health care so you may have to book in with a particular nurse for a particular check.
For some procedures it is desirable to see the same practice nurse each time. The nurse will tell you this when she sees you or please do not hesitate to ask.
