Clinics & Services

In addition to GP consultations the practice offers a wide range of clinics and healthcare services:

Chronic Disease Clinics

We run nurse-led clinics to monitor patients with medical conditions such as asthma, COPD, diabetes and heart disease.  The experienced nursing team will advise you if you need to see the doctor about your condition.

Antenatal clinic

These clinics are run by Midwives and appointments can be booked in by telephoning the surgery or calling in to the reception.  Information on Clinics can be found here: https://www.pregnancyadvice.org.uk/. If you have any questions about your maternity care, the Midwives can be contacted via the Surgery reception.

Childhood Immunisation Clinics

These are held throughout the week.  Immunisations are an important part of protecting a child’s health. If you need further information about vaccinations, please contact your health visitor. Parents will be contacted about making an appointment.

Family Planning

We offer a range of family planning services including emergency contraception (morning after pill), coil insertions, contraceptive implants and vasectomies.  Speak to one of our team for further information.

NHS Health Checks.

Everyone is at risk of developing heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes or kidney disease but these diseases can often be  prevented.  We offer the NHS Health Check at the  Surgery to adults between the ages of 40 and 74.  We will  assess your risk and offer  personalised advice on how to reduce it. The check includes:-

• height & weight measurement
• urine testing
• cholesterol test
• diabetes screening
• blood pressure check
• dietary advice
• smoking advice
• exercise advice

The checks are carried out by our nursing team.  If you wish, we can refer you on to a health trainer to give you tailored support and guidance on your health and wellbeing.

Minor Surgery Clinics

We perform a wide range of minor surgical procedures at the practice such as joint injections and removal of some types of moles and warts.  Ask the doctor for advice.

Cervical Smear Screening

Women will be invited by the National Screening Team for a routine cervical smear every  3 – 5 years depending on their age. This appointment can be booked with one of our fully trained nurses. Ask our receptionist if you require an appointment in the evening or on the weekend.

Chlamydia Screening

This is the most common sexually transmitted infection and 1 in 10 sexually active under 25 year olds will have this without having any symptoms.  If untreated, the disease can cause infertility. We encourage all patients aged 15 – 24 years to take a simple test for chlamydia.  This can be done by a simple urine test whilst in the surgery and the result will be sent direct to the patient, via text, email or post.
