Clinics & Services
Practice Nurses
Our nurses run clinics morning and afternoon. They carry out blood pressure measurement, immunisations for children, travel, dressings and a host of other services.
The receptionist will provide details if required.
For more information on immunisations visit http://www.immunisation.nhs.uk
Health Care Assistant (HCA)
The HCA takes routine blood samples for testing and does blood pressure measurements at the Phlebotomy clinic every morning.
The samples are sent to the hospital laboratory at 11.00 and 16.00 each day. Appointments will be made to coincide with these collection times.
You may book appointments with the phlebotomist at reception, over the phone, in person or online by registering for Patient Access.
Antenatal Clinics
The doctors carry out antenatal checks during normal surgeries. Please ask at reception for details.
Post-Natal Care
Post-natal checks are done at the surgery at 8 weeks. An appointment can be made at reception.
Family Planning
Consult the doctor within normal surgery appointments.
Annual Birthday Reviews
Patients with long-term conditions, such as diabetes or asthma will be invited to the surgery for an annual review in the month of their birthday. Patients with multiple conditions will be seen once for everything rather than having to come in several times, often repeating the same tests. It's a kind of human MOT!
Cervical Smears
Smear tests are carried out by the Practice Nurse by appointment.
