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 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.

Sister Helen Jones 

After over 20 years in acute care, mainly in the Emergency Department, I moved into Primary Care to focus on prevention, education, and supporting patients to lead healthier lives. My A&E experience sparked a curiosity about the journeys that bring people to hospital and inspired me to help patients make informed choices earlier. I continue to work in Emergency Medicine, alongside roles as an expert witness and event medic, and I’ve recently applied to join the Territorial Army. I’m also working towards my Non-Medical Prescribing qualification to further support my patients.

Outside of work, I love being outdoors—whether that’s wild swimming (even in winter!), hiking, travelling with my two kids and our scruffy Spanish Griffons, or exploring new places. The outdoors keeps me grounded and energised.

At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to safe, compassionate, patient-centred care. I’m really enjoying life in “GP Land,” and every patient I’ve met at Bramhall and Shaw Heath has been a delight.

 

Health & Wellbeing Coach

Rosie Prunier 

After a varied career in adult and child social care—working with a range of service users across different settings—I transitioned into primary care in 2018. I trained vocationally to become a Healthcare Assistant (HCA), working within the Practice Nursing Team and carrying out blood tests, blood pressure monitoring, ECGs, vaccine administration, and annual health reviews.
In 2025, I qualified as a Health and Wellbeing Coach and joined Bramhall and Shaw Heath Medical Group. I thoroughly enjoy this role, although you may still see me running ad-hoc or extended access HCA clinics from time to time. I work full-time and split my time across both sites. I have a number of special interests within my role, including supporting patients to build confidence and achieve sustainable lifestyle changes.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me pitch-side most evenings and weekends, cheering on my children. I also enjoy spending time outdoors—or escaping into a good book when I can!

Healthcare Assistants

Josie Robinson 

I have a clear passion for patient-facing work and clinical skills, I am continuing to challenge myself and grow in my role.

My experience in private home care provided a solid foundation, and following this I joined the Urgent Community Response Team, this was a great move, allowing myself to develop clinical skills and work with a dynamic team. I also explored the admin side, but it's clear that patient care is where ,my heart is.

My current role at Bramhall and Shaw Heath Medical Centre is a great fit. I have a  supportive team and new opportunities. I have just recently completed my first flu and COVID vaccination year, with many more to go, I have many opportunities that lie ahead.
