Locum GPs
We also utilise a small number of locum GPs who help cover holidays and sickness. The locum GPs we book are always of a high standard, so you can expect to receive the same high level of care as you would from one of our regular GPs.
Nursing Team
The Nurses of Cerne Abbas Surgery work across the boundaries of Practice and Community in order to deliver a seamless nursing service to the practice population. The team works 8.30am to 5pm.
The nurses have various general practice and community nursing skills. Some nurses specialise in various chronic disease management and run nurse led clinics.
The nursing team also mentors and supports pre-registration nursing students from Bournemouth University.
Val, our Care Co-Ordinator, and Norma, our Social Prescriber also work closely with the Integrated Nursing Team.
