Why work with us, here's what our previous Practice Nurse said:

I really enjoyed working at Ivy as a Practice Nurse. Whilst working here, I felt supported by all the staff. The management, ACP & GPs were very pleasant and approachable which made day to day clinics flow well as I knew I always had someone I could discuss any issues with and advice was always given. Other members of the MDT were also available to offer support. Its a lovely, friendly team, who are always happy to help.I was offered multiple learning opportunities including Spirometry and updates for asthma, diabetes, immunisations. I was given time to consolidate my knowledge via altering appointment times whilst learning these new skills. These are skills I am now able to utilise in providing excellent patient care.I am grateful for my chapter at Ivy!

Our current ACP says-

I have worked as an ANP and ACP at Ivy for 7 years. We are a friendly team and its a great supportive environment to work within. I have completed my MSc in Advanced Clinical Skills whilst being here and have been encouraged by our team. I have good relationships with all our MDT.
