These clinics cover child developmental checks and immunisations.
We hold a number of minor surgery procedures at the practice and these are carried out by Dr R Croft and Dr G Pilkington. The doctors will be happy to advise you on these procedures.
The practice holds regular antenatal clinics. Antenatal care is usually shared between your doctor, the community midwife and the hospital. If you think you may be pregnant book an appointment with your doctor who can organise your antenatal care.
All women between the ages of 25 and 64 years are advised to have a cervical smear every three to five years. If you are due for a smear test please arrange an appointment to see one of our nurses.
The HPV vaccinations are given in the school setting. The surgery does not carry any doses of the HPV vaccine. Please notify your school nurse if you have any questions regarding the vaccine or if your child has missed a scheduled dose.
The NHS Health Check Program aims to help prevent heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease and certain types of dementia. Everyone between the ages of 40 and 74, who have not already been diagnosed with one of these conditions or have certain risk factors, will be invited (once every five years) to have a check to assess their risk factors, and will be given support and advice to help them reduce or manage that risk.
Influenza vaccination is recommended for at risk groups, those aged 65 and over and those suffering from chronic disease including heart, lung and diabetes. Please contact the reception staff for further information.
This clinic will deal with your annual reviews or any problems you may be having with your diabetes.
A regular meeting is held between the practice team and district nurses with additional input from Macmillan nurses to review and adjust individual patient care plans.
