Community Nurses

Community nurses work within the practice to provide care in the home for patients whose ill health prevents them from attending the surgery.

To contact the community nurses please ring 01304 371842 or 01304 865458 and leave a message. They will respond to your call as soon as possible.

Health Visitors

Health visitors are based at The Deal Community Clinic. They provide care initially for the under fives but also hold various groups for all ages. They can give advice and information on parenting, behaviour, diet and postnatal depression. Dr Feeney's drop-in clinic and childhood immunisations will continue to be offered at the Cedars Surgery from 2.00 - 3.00pm but parents are asked to attend Deal Clinic on Thursdays 9.30am -12 noon for weight checks.

To contact the health visitors please ring 01304 865460 or 01304 865457 and leave a message. They will respond to your call as soon as possible.

Counsellors

We currently have two counsellors: Jay Brown and Janet Bantin. For referral to the counsellor please see your doctor.

Medical Students

The doctors at The Cedars are involved in the teaching of medical students from the Imperial College School of Medicine. Occasionally we also help nursing students with their practical experience. If a medical student sits in with your doctor or nurse you will be given the opportunity to ask them to leave if you prefer them not to be present during your consultation.
