Specialist nurse

Alison Cole is the Specialist Nurse based at the Disablement Services Centre. For the last 12 years Alison has worked in Primary Care as a Practice Nurse. Alison hopes that she can be a useful resource bringing her knowledge and expertise to the centre. Alison can offer help and advice on a number of issues including health promotion topics such as diet, smoking cessation and diabetes and insulin control. Her role also includes monitoring wounds and dressing them as necessary in the centre.

Alison's role is a new and evolving one and she is looking forward to working closely with patients and staff in both the centre and on the wards. This will allow her to see as many people as she can before they attend the DSC, and in so doing will also ensure patients seeing a familiar face when they arrive at the DSC.

Alison's working week will consist of 4 days 08.30 -16.30 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. You can contact Alison on 02392 866570 ext 3963 or alison.cole@porthosp.nhs.uk.
