CLINICS
Health promotion
We are actively engaged in health education and disease prevention and we are always happy to discuss this with you.
In particular, we can arrange the following clinics by appointment:
Asthma Clinic
To help and advise patients who suffer from this complaint. Fully trained asthma nurses run this clinic.
Contraception
We are able to advise and provide a full range of contraceptive care (except condoms) including post-coital contraception.
Diabetic Clinic
One of the doctors and a practice nurse run regular clinics to monitor and advise our diabetic patients.
Minor Surgery
Minor surgery procedures can be carried out at the surgery under local anaesthetic.
New Patients
New patients are asked to make an appointment to see the practice nurse when registering, so that all important health details can be recorded, thereby assisting the doctor, before your notes are forwarded from your previous GP. The nurse will also check your blood pressure, weight, height and urine and give general advice should it be needed.
Travel Clinic
A fully comprehensive travel information package, including vaccinations, is available.
Other Clinics
Well Woman, Well Man, Cervical Smear, Hypertension, Cryotherapy, and Heart Disease.
