PRACTICE NURSES
Our Practice Nurses run clinics to detect and monitor chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes, coronary heart disease. They also see patients for minor illness; provide stopping smoking help and advice, cervical smears, emergency contraception, sexual health, 4YP, travel immunisation and advice (see below for more info) childhood immunisations, flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Appointments can be made by contacting reception.
CHILD HEALTH CLINICS
These are run by our Health Visitors every Tuesday from 1.30-3.30.
Our Practice Nurses are also available to give child immunisations (by appointment).
On the first and third Tuesday of every month one of the doctors is available to perform 8 week baby checks. Appointments for the 8 week checks are arranged for you by the Health Visitor’s Clerk.
FAMILY PLANNING AND SEXUAL HEALTH
The doctors and practice nurses offer a range of family planning advice during their routine surgeries. A wide range of family planning services, including IUDs and IUS (coils) and implanon (contraceptive implant) insertion and removal, are available. Screening for STIs (including chlamydia ) is also available. All consultations are treated in the strictest confidence.
EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION
Practice nurses will see registered and non-registered patients for emergency contraception. It is important that you are seen as soon as possible. If a routine appointment is not available please explain why you need to see the nurse, and the receptionists will do their best to arrange an appointment for you.
CERVICAL SMEARS
All eligible women between the ages of 25 and 64 are advised to have a cervical cancer smear test - every 3 years up to age 50 and every 5 years over 50.
The national screening programme has a computerised call and recall system, and will send regular invitations to attend. Appointments can be made with our Practice Nurses by contacting reception.
MINOR SURGERY
All doctors are qualified to carry out minor surgery
CRYOTHERAPY/WART CLINIC
Our practice nurse runs a cryotherapy clinic once a month
TRAVEL CLINIC
Our Nurses run travel advice and immunisation clinics twice weekly. Appointments can be made by contacting reception. For further information click on the Travel information link on the right of this page
MATERNITY SERVICES
Our community midwives work with the doctors to provide antenatal and postnatal care for our patients. Pre-pregnancy information and advice can be discussed with the doctor or midwife by appointment. It is important that you contact the surgery once you know you are pregnant to make a booking appointment with the midwife.
Antenatal education classes are held at the Health Centre.
FLU AND PNEUMONIA CLINICS
Our Practice Nurses run annual flu clinics. All patients with asthma, diabetes, kidney disease, immuno-suppressed illnesses, chronic breathing problems and coronary heart disease are advised to have an annual flu vaccination, as well as carers and all patients over the age of 65. Pneumonia vaccinations are also advised for these patient groups; unlike the flu vaccination which is given annually, the penumonia vaccination is only given once. Appointments can be made by contacting reception.

Private examinations and reports are not covered by the NHS. Doctors will provide these wherever possible (there will be a charge). Examinations can be arranged by contacting reception to make an appointment.
