Chilwell Meadows Surgery Team

The Practice Nurses offer a wide range of services including health advice, respiratory and diabetic checks, blood pressure and coronary heart disease monitoring, family planning and cervical smears, childhood immunisations as well as other nursing tasks such as dressings.

Appointments to see them can be made at reception. We need to know the reason for the appointment so we can give them the appropriate length of time they need.

Receptionists

Steph is our Office Manager and she is helped by Chloe, Suzanne, Debbie, Jasmine, Asha, Allison, Angela and Nomiesha. They will deal with your queries and appointment requests. They may ask you a few details in order to work out how best to help you but they are bound by the same levels of confidentiality as the doctors.

Secretaries

The Practice secretaries Mel, Sonia and Rachel will liaise with hospitals for us. One of them is here every day. If you have issues with your liaison with hospitals please speak to reception or the medical secretaries for help with this.

Phlebotomists

Our phlebotomists are with us every Tuesday and Wednesday. They are especially trained to do blood tests. Appointments to see them can be made at reception. They can only take blood in morning appointments as the blood is collected at lunchtime to go to the hospital to be analysed. Many blood tests cannot be left overnight. If the hospital has requested your blood test you can take this to the hospital phlebotomy walk-in clinics. Reception can let you know the times of these or you can click on this link.
