Practice Nurses
Milton Surgery has a team of qualified and dedicated Practice Nurses.
Our Nurses are very happy to advise patients who have any concerns about health matters. It may of course be more appropriate to refer you to a Doctor. Appointments for the Nurses are made at our reception desk or by phone.
