Clinics & Services
Some of the clinics and services held at the surgery are provided by our own doctors and practice nurses. Some services are provided by healthcare staff from community services.

Cervical smears
All women between the ages of 25 and 49 should have a smear test every three years, women between 50 and 64 every five years. Please make an appointment with the practice nurse when advised by the health authority.
Hypertension Clinic
Hypertension or Blood Pressure Clinic is held on an individual appointment basis.
Child Health Surveillance
Co-ordinated between the practice nurses and the health visitor. We will send you an appointment when it is time for your child’s check. We see children when they are six weeks old for their first assessment and at regular intervals up to three and a half years old.
We are keen to make sure that our young patients are given protection against serious infectious diseases. We believe a regular routine vaccination programme is extremely safe and effective.
