Clinics

In addition to general medical consultations we are pleased to be able to provide specialist clinics and services covering the following areas:

  • Test Results - We will contact you if there is anything wrong with your test results or if you need a follow up test or a further appointment. If you already have a follow up appointment booked, your Doctor may speak to you about your test results then rather than notify you separately.
  • Immunisation clinics- with the practice nursing team throughout the week.
  • Well baby clinic - will shortly resume.  These are usually held on Wednesday afternoons from 13:30 - 15:30. 
  • Child development- If you need advice at any other time, please contact the Health Visiting team.
  • Ante-natal clinics- held on Wednesdays from 13:00 – 16:00 and Fridays from 09:30 – 12:00. Booking-in appointments are provided on Tuesdays from 10:00 – 13:00. You can drop in for advice or support on any aspect of pregnancy. A pregnancy testing service is also available on-site, please drop in a sample of urine before 10:30 Monday – Friday (sample bottles are available from a receptionist). 
  • Minor surgery clinics- for the removal of lumps and bumps and held in our well-equipped treatment room. 
  • Cervical smear clinics- by trained practice nurses and are held three to four times a week by appointment.

Our health care assistants also carry out procedures such as taking blood samples, checking urine, blood pressures checks, ECG's, basic wound care and routine health checks.

Travel Vaccinations

If you're planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.

 

Non NHS Services

Some services provided fall outside the scope of the NHS and therefore attract charges

Young People

We appreciate that youngsters may find it difficult to approach staff at the health centre who are quite often much older than themselves. To improve this we arrange training for the medical receptionists on how to welcome and support young people.
