Healthcare Assistants
Appointments with Healthcare Assistants vary from 10 to 30 minutes duration depending on the type of request presented. These appointments are booked in advance.

Our Healthcare Assistants carry out blood tests, blood pressure monitoring and ECGs. 
Urgent Care Practitioners
Urgent care practitioners are a mixture of qualified nurses and paramedics who have had extra advanced training to treat minor illness and undiagnosed conditions. The urgent care practitioners also triage as well as seeing patients face to face.

St Austell Healthcare employs both practice nurses and urgent care practitioners, who do quite different jobs. If in any doubt, please speak to reception. You may need a separate appointment with a different nurse to provide you with the care that you need.
Practice Nurses
Appointments with practice nurses vary from 10 to 30 minutes duration depending on the type of request presented. These appointments are booked in advance.
They will change dressings, remove sutures, perform immunisations, smear tests, etc. They also provide specialist advice on diabetes care, asthma and heart disease.
To assist the receptionists, it would be helpful to share the reason for your appointment to ensure you are booked with an appropriate clinician and allocated the appropriate amount of time.
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.
