Clinics & Services
Ante-natal clinics
Our surgery provides maternity services. The midwife runs ante-natal clinics weekly and shares the care with doctors. The times for these clinics can be requested at reception.
Asthma and Diabetes Clinics
Our practice nurse team run these clinics and are trained in the management of asthma and diabetes. We strongly recommend that patients attend these clinics as they help enormously in coping with asthma and diabetes and their related illnesses. For patients who are due an annual asthma review, please would you answer the questions on the form in the link below and submit to us. If your symptoms are deteriorating or you have any concerns, please make an appointment with the respiratory nurse.
Blood Pressure
If you are on treatment for blood pressure it is important that it is measured at least every nine months to achieve optimum control. If you would like to check it yourself there are self checking machines at each surgery. Please ask at reception if you need help with this.
Cervical Smears
The practice nurse runs a clinic for this and if you are due for a cervical smear and have been notified by either the practice or the Primary Care Support Agency, then you may make an appointment by telephoning the surgery
Child Health Immunisations
It is extremely important that children are protected against Diphtheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough (Pertussis), Polio, Measles, Mumps, German Measles (Rubella), Meningitis ‘C’ and Haemophilus ‘B’ HIB.
There are very few reasons against having these vaccines, but if you are worried, please discuss the matter with your health visitor, practice nurse or doctor.
The clinics are run by our practice nurses, with a doctor in attendance. They are held once a month. You should receive a reminder in the post but please refer to your ‘red book’ for the schedule. You can also check on Current Immunisation Schedule for the most up to date information.
