Healthcare Assistants (including Phlebotomy)
Mrs Carolyn MacFarlane (f)
Healthcare Assistants are non-registered Nursing staff who assist in patient care and Practice related duties, as directed by and under the supervision of a Registered Healthcare Professional (including Lead Practice Nurse, Practice Manager and GPs).
Healthcare Assistants work collaboratively with the General Practice Team to meet the needs of patients, and provide essential task-orientated services like taking blood samples (phlebotomy), measuring blood pressure, dressings, stitch removal, processing specimens, performing ECGs (to measure heart function) and specific chronic disease management clinics.
They play a crucial role in supporting the Clinical Team.
