Urgent Care Matron
I qualified as a nurse in 2005 and started my career at RCHT on a respiratory ward before joining a Community Nurse team in 2006. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, expanding my knowledge in wound care management and chronic disease. I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity of being a practice nurse at Wheal Northey in 2011. Whilst in this role I took a further interest in respiratory care, undertaking my diploma in asthma and COPD. When St Austell Healthcare formed I decided to step out of my comfort zone and became part of the initial minor illness team at the Hub and completed a degree module in Minor Illness and Injuries. In 2018 I completed my prescribing course and in 2019 became the team lead for the Hub. The Hub team has expanded greatly in this time with a mixture of Urgent Care paramedics and nurses. Our role involves triage and face to face appointments for urgent/acute matters that are treated with on the day. In February 2021 I secured the Job of Urgent Care Matron and I am currently in my second year of a Masters Degree in Advanced Clinical Practice. I feel privileged to be part of an amazing team and excited about my future progression within St Austell Healthcare.

Nurse Practitioners and Advanced Nurse Practitioners
These are very experienced Registered Nurses who have undertaken additional clinical training and academic qualifications, usually to a Masters degree for Advanced Nurse Practitioners. They are able to examine, assess, make diagnoses, treat, prescribe and make referrals for patients who present with undiagnosed/undifferentiated problems. They work alongside GP colleagues, seeing patients autonomously but, as with their GP colleagues, always have access to specialist advice when necessary.
