Clinics & Services

Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Monitoring Clinic

We would like to invite all our patients who are asthmatic or have chronic chest problems to make an appointment with our asthma nurse. The aim is to help patients understand their condition, monitor, control and enable them to lead a normal lifestyle without crises.

Diabetic Clinic

Long-term complications of diabetes can be minimised or avoided by good diabetic care and control. Appointments can be booked with our nurse and involves monitoring control, educational advice and health screening for the annual review including an appointment with the podiatrist and dietician as appropriate. All diabetics are welcome.

Family Planning & Sexual Health

We provide a full range of contraceptive services, including coil fitting.

Cervical Smear Clinic

We offer all women a cervical smear test every three to five years in accordance with the NHS cervical screening schedule, or more frequently if it is indicated. This is a simple screening test which can give early warning of cancer of the cervix (neck of the womb) when it is at a treatable stage. As it is possible to develop these pre-cancerous changes at any age it is important that women have the test done regularly. Appointments can be made at the reception desk.

Maternity Care

Our doctors offer pre-conception counselling, ante-natal and post-natal care in conjunction with local midwives.

Minor Surgery

We offer a minor surgery service at the practice including joint injections. Please see a GP in order to arrange this.

Mammography

The nurse will give information about the NHS screening programme.

Immunisations and Vaccinations

Please book an appointment with the practice nurse for routine children's immunisations.

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below: 

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Caribbean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 8 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS. Click the following link for our charges.
