Deb is our dedicated Care Co-ordinator here at Widcombe Surgery. She plays a key role in supporting patients with long-term health conditions by ensuring they are invited for their annual reviews — including conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.
Deb also works closely with patients to promote routine health screening and preventative care. This includes invitations for cervical screening, adult and child immunisations, and NHS Health Checks. Her work helps us ensure that our patients stay up to date with important aspects of their ongoing health and wellbeing.
