Welcome to the Red Wing Medical Practice

Letter to Patients


New Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) Triage System

As a Practice we are undergoing some alterations to working patterns to try to guarantee a good provision to our Practice Population going forward in the years to come.

Ruth Crawford has been employed at the Practice for many years as a Practice Nurse.  She has already undergone, and continues to undertake, significant additional training in diagnosis, management and prescribing to allow her to change her role to ANP.  Ruth will be taking on an ever increasing role with patients who feel they need to be seen on the same day allowing GPs to have more pre-bookable, longer appointments.

The ANP can see you on the day for the following:

Emergency contraception                  Diarrhoea

Acute back pain                                Urinary tract infections

Shingles                                           Vomiting

Rashes                                             Swollen glands

Chest infection                                  Cystitis

Thrush/vaginal discharge                   Tonsillitis

Earache                                            Flu like illnesses

Infestations                                      Cough

Sexually transmitted infections           Skin problems

What ANP CANNOT deal with

Problems associated with pregnancy

Mental health issues

Children under 5 years old

We are confident that our website will provide clear and concise help and give our patients the information they require in an easy and convenient format. It has been designed with the patient’s needs at the forefront of everything, from checking surgery times to letting us know what you think of us.

Serving You

Our dedicated team are here to treat those minor ailments that occur as well as providing specialist management of long-term conditions and clinics covering a wide range of healthcare issues. The technology also means you can now do a lot of things from the comfort of your home such as order a repeat prescription or cancel an appointment.

Partners in Care

Once registered, patients and healthcare professionals work together to ensure the most appropriate care is provided. This partnership philosophy extends even further and our active patient group exists to make sure that patient needs and the practice offering are always heading in the same direction.

Access

There is access to the health centre for the disabled from both the main entrance and via the car park entrance.  There is also a lift allowing access to the upper floor of the centre.
