ATTACHED STAFF
NHS Nottingham City also employs district nurses, health

District Nurses
They are available to see you at home when necessary and give practical assistance
or offer professional advice. Each patient’s needs are assessed and the
care/treatment is planned accordingly. Duties include care for the chronically
or acutely sick or terminally ill, dressings and removal of stitches. Incontinence
advice is also available, as are various aids and appliances.
Community Midwives
They work with the doctor to provide care for mothers before and after delivery.
They also offer help for the first fortnight of life.
Antenatal clinics are held at the Sure Start centre, Sneinton.
Health Visitors
They can be contacted via Sneinton Health Centre (0115 883 8600).. They are available to offer help and
advice for the under fives and they also arrange bookable appointments for immunisations. Child health clinics for routine
baby checks, weighing and immunisation are held weekly (by appointment).
Teaching and Training
This is a teaching practice in which newly qualified doctors gain additional
experience in general practice. They are with us for short periods from four
to eight months and are changed on a rotational basis. Video recording is occasionally
used during consultations. You will be advised if this is happening and have
the right not to be recorded if you so wish. Recordings are used only with your
specific permission for training and assessment of doctors. We also regularly
have student nurses staying with us for periods of one month. If you would prefer
to be seen without a student present, please tell us.
