Jenny Ferguson
Jenny joinined the practice in April 2015. Jenny is an experienced primary care nurse who has undertaken extra training to see patients with undiagnosed problems. She primarily sees patients requesting ‘same day’ appointments and after an initial assessment she can make treatment decisions, prescribe most medications and arrange further tests. Sometimes this will involve referrals to other services or reviews with the patients own GP.

Most acute and chronic health conditions can be managed but to ensure continuity of care, any ongoing complicated problems should be seen by the patients usual GP.

Jenny is unable to prescribe for any health conditions relating to pregnancy
