Nurse-led primary care is a proven, cost-effective model that delivers high-quality healthcare at community level. In Cape Town’s northern suburbs, Nurseit’s nurse-driven, doctor-supported model provides accessible consultations, occupational health services and wellness care to the community.
What ‘Nurse-Driven, Doctor-Supported’ Actually Means
When you walk into a Nurseit clinic, you are seen by a registered professional nurse — a highly trained, SANC-registered clinician with the skills and authority to diagnose, treat and provide care for a wide range of primary care conditions. Doctor oversight is built into the system — available for complex cases, referrals and clinical governance — without additional cost and waiting time. You get professional, evidence-based care at a price that reflects the reality of your community. And the nurse who sees you today is likely the same nurse who will see you next month — building continuity and trust.
The Occupational Health Offering
In communities like Wesbank and Eerste River, a significant proportion of the working population is employed in industries that require occupational health compliance — construction, manufacturing, transport, logistics and warehousing. Occupational medicals at Nurseit cost R350 — including audiometry and spirometry. PrDP medicals are R250. These rates are delivered by SASOHN-certified practitioners in full compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act. For employers, Nurseit also offers on-site and mobile occupational health services — bringing the clinic to your workforce, reducing downtime and ensuring compliance without disruption.
Sister Cleopatra Van Ster: The Expert Behind the Service
Nurseit’s occupational health services are led by Sister Cleopatra Van Ster — a SASOHN-certified occupational health nursing practitioner with over 21 years of clinical experience and a current paid-up SASOHN membership (Member No. SASOHN7347, valid through 31 December 2026). Sister Cleopatra’s expertise spans occupational medicals, health risk assessments, employee wellness programmes and regulatory compliance across multiple industries.
The Wellness Dimension: Beyond Sick Care
