Community Nurse
Lynn Green Our community nurses are based in West Bergholt and cover the surgery area. They provide nursing care to patients who are too unwell to leave their home or patients who have recently been discharged from hospital and are housebound. They work closely with the practice to ensure complete care from the medical and nursing aspect. If you need to see a community nurse, please speak to your GP.

Community Matron Community matrons are experienced, skilled nurses who use management techniques to care for patients with a high intensity use of health care. By doing so, community matrons reduce hospital admissions, reduce stay in hospital, integrate elements of healthcare and improve patient outcomes. If you need to be referred to a community matron, ring 01206 518530 or speak to your GP.
