Macmillan Nurses
Lillian Chapman, our Macmillan Nurse, gives support and comfort to terminally ill patients and their carers. Lillian is in regular contact with St Luke’s Hospice and can advise doctors and patients alike on advances in the care of the terminally ill.

Dietitian
Our Community Dietitian is responsible for running a Dietetic Clinic at Estover Health Centre by referral from your doctor. Dietitians interpret the science of nutrition in a practical way providing information and advice on ways of changing eating habits to treat medical problems to prevent disease and promote nutritional health.

Our Dietitian sees patients of all ages from antenatal through to children, adults, and the elderly. Key areas of work include diabetes, coronary heart disease, being underweight, digestive problems, food allergy/intolerance, eating disorders, consistency alteration, nutritional assessment, and obesity.

Physiotherapy
If you need to see a physiotherapist, we will refer you on to Tavistock Hospital. One of the team will be in contact with you to arrange an appointment.

Chiropody
All of our Chiropody/Podiatry referrals are sent to Seventrees Clinic in Plymouth. They do hold sessions in Tavistock Clinic which patients can attend if they are unable to make it to Plymouth.

Referrals to a Consultant via Choose and Book
If during your consultation with the GP it is decided that you need to be referred to see a Consultant, this would generally be done using the Choose and Book System. This is a very valuable service which allows people much more choice and flexibility. Details are available in the Surgery.
