I qualified as an RGN in North London in 1988 and have worked at both Addenbrookes & Hinchingbrooke Hospitals. I have been employed as a Practice Nurse since 2009 and have gained Diplomas in Asthma, Diabetes & Minor Injury.
I moved to Swavesey in 1989 , and now live in St Ives. I have three grown-up children and have recently become a nanny for the first time. I was a patient at Swavesey Surgery many years ago and feel like I have come home!
I feel very blessed to work with such a small, friendly team.

Social Prescriber

A social prescriber aims to provide support for a wide range of issues which can affect wellbeing. Many health conditions can be helped by changes to lifestyle. I am able to spend time getting to know patients and support them to connect with services in the community which are most suited to their wellbeing. I will be working closely with community groups, social services, local charities so I am aware of all that is on offer.

You may be speaking to Deborah and/or Edi when you have queries regarding your medication, or when your medication reviews are due. They will be working very closely with Dr Jain and Dr Mian using their expert knowledge in medication to improve value and outcomes from medicines, consult with, and treat patients directly.
This includes providing extra help to manage long-term conditions, advice for those on multiple medicines and better access to health checks.

Our first contact physiotherapists help patients with musculoskeletal problems (joints, bones and muscles). They are the first point of contact at the surgery for assessing, diagnosing, and treating patients with musculoskeletal problems with the expertise to order appropriate tests and investigations if required.
Patients can refer themselves to first contact physiotherapists. They do not need a referral from their GP. This helps patients get treatment more quickly
