Karen Finnegan
Practice Nurse
Introduction
I’m Karen Finnegan, a Practice Nurse at The Whickham Practice.
I work four days a week in the Practice doing Long Term Conditions (Asthma/COPD, Heart, Stroke/TIA and Diabetes), immunisations, cervical screening and family planning. You may also sometimes see me doing the Baby Immunisations or wound care. I came here from Secondary Care in 2010, following ten years in the Intensive Care Unit at Newcastle General Hospital. I have previously worked on Surgical wards at Durham Hospital and before this at Shotley Bridge General Hospital, which is where I did my nurse training.
