Practice nursing
Each GP surgery/health centre on the Isle of Man has at least 2 practice nurses in their Primary Care Team. These are experienced nurses performing a full range of procedures and healthcare, from chronic disease management to childhood immunisation programmes.
They are employed directly by the GPs but enjoy the benefits of working for the NHS. Some practice nurses have specialities such as Midwifery, respiratory medicine and some are nurse prescribers. They have representation on many nursing forums and access the excellent educational opportunities that are widely available on the Island.
This is necessary as a good general basis of learning is required to keep up to date with current practices, management and medicines. They have a good relationship with the rest of the Primary Care team and community nursing and have good communicative links with Noble's hospital.
Making a complaint about a GP
Any complaint about a GP should in the first instance be made in writing to 'The Complaints Manager' at the GP Practice where the GP works. The complaint will be fully investigated and the outcome communicated to the patient. Information about what to do should the patient not be satisfied will be communicated by the Practice when advising the patient of the outcome.

Friends and Family Survey
Every time you visit your GP practice you are invited to take part in a short online survey. This is an anonymous survey and you are free to leave your comments about the practice in the space provided. The survey results are checked regularly and will be discussed with the GP Practice accordingly.
