Nurse Practioners

Sister Sally Wood

Sister Sally Wood is a very experienced and highly trained Advanced Nurse Practitioner who has worked in this advanced clinical role since 2012.  Sister Wood has worked in the NHS for nearly 30 years as a nurse both within the Hospital setting and in General Practice.

Advanced Nurse Practitioners are Registered Nurses who have received extra training and academic qualifications to be able to examine, assess, make diagnoses, treat, prescribe and make referrals for patients who present with undiagnosed/undifferentiated problems.

In the modern NHS, Advanced Nurse Practitioners work in hospital Emergency Departments, hospital inpatient and outpatient departments, GP out-of-hours services and many GP practices throughout the country. 

In addition to working for our practice where she works alongside our GPs, Sister Wood has also worked for an NHS urgent primary care out-of-hours provider where, due to her high level of qualification and experience, she would autonomously and independently assess and treats acutely unwell children and adults on a regular basis without any doctors being present on-site.

Sister Wood works in the practice on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays when she will be assessing and treating patients presenting acute problems.  Sister Wood will be seeing and treating patients of all ages with the exception apart from babies less than 12 weeks old and pregnant mothers.

Practice Nurses

Sister Tina Nookanah 

Sister Chloe Seisay

I studied a nursing diploma at Salford University from 2002-2005, once qualified I worked at Salford Royal A&E department, I really enjoyed A&E and it gave me lots of experience with many different patient groups. I worked on A&E from April 2005 to December 2008. Following A&E I accepted a position as a health coach with BUPA at Salford Quays and I worked for Bupa for around 4 months. In 2009 I was then offered a job in primary care as a practice nurse at a surgery in Manchester, this is where I found my passion. I have remained in primary care working as a practice nurse since 2009 to date.

As I have worked in primary care for 14 years I feel experienced across all patient groups including chronic diseases such as diabetes, CHD, respiratory care, travel advice and vaccinations, childhood immunisations, contraception and sexual health and all of the other patient groups attending primary care. The area of most interest to me is respiratory, I completed my asthma diploma in 2013 with respiratory UK, Liverpool and from this I became really interest in asthma. I enjoy practice nursing and feel very passionate about it, each day is very different from the next and I always aim to provide the best care possible to all of my paitents. Socially I enjoy spending time with my family. I also have two dogs so I enjoy lots of muddy walks and being outdoors.
