Respiratory Assessment / COPD Clinics
For patients over the age of 35 years, usually with a smoking history, history of breathing problems, or an existing diagnosis of COPD, this clinic offers routine lung function assessment (spirometry) and the appropriate treatments to maintain health.
Family Planning
The doctors and nurses offer general advice and information on contraception and sexual health. We offer a range of services including oral contraceptive pill, contraceptive injections, as well as long lasting contraceptive implants and coil fitting.
Child/Baby Immunisations
Our nurses hold regular clinics for both pre-school and school age children for routine immunisations.
Minor Operations
Most of the doctors are trained to provide a minor surgery service (e.g. removal of cysts, joint injections, toenail removal). This can be discussed at any consultation. Please note that we can only offer these procedures in specific clinics when we have a doctor available and sufficient patients to fill a clinic. This means that you may be placed a waiting list.
MMR
Adults who missed out on the MMR vaccination as a baby and are therefore not immune can have the MMR vaccine on the NHS. Some adults may not have received full protection because of changes in the MMR vaccine. Anyone born between 1980 and 1990 may not have received a mumps vaccine and anyone born between 1970 and 1979 may have only had a measles vaccine. If you fall into one of these groups, please make an appointment with the nurse for the MMR vaccination.
Warfarin Monitoring (INR)
The health care assistants offer a warfarin monitoring service in the practice. Clinics are generally held in the afternoon as the testing is done in the practice rather than having to be sent to the labs.
Smoking Cessation
We are now offering Smoking Cessation at the Surgery, book with Katie or Karen, available online.
