GPN Becky Millar
I qualified as a registered adult nurse from Edinburgh Napier University in 2009 and began working in the Western General Hospital and then the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. In 2013, I retrained as a community staff nurse, becoming a district nurse on completion of a Post Graduate diploma in District Nursing at Queen Margaret University.
I began working at the Green Practice in 2016 - training under Pauline Waugh, our lead nurse. Pauline mentored me whilst completing the NHS Education and General Practice Nursing programme in 2018 and Non-Medical Prescribing for Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals in 2020 at Edinburgh Napier University.
I have a special interest in long-term conditions such as Diabetes and Heart Disease and tissue viability. |
