Surgery clinics

We offer a range of clinics and services at the surgery. There are some tasks you can do, such as health reviews, using our online forms.

Antenatal clinic

The midwife at the clinic sees patients by appointment.

Cervical smears

Please book these with a practice nurse.

Chronic disease management clinics

We offer a range of clinics such as those for asthma, diabetes, coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to monitor and support patients.

They are run by the practice nurse, with the support of the doctors. An appointment is necessary but these can be booked in advance. All patients with the above conditions should ensure that they book an annual review with the nurse.

Travel immunisations and vaccinations

If you need advice, please contact the reception team 8 weeks before you are due to travel, giving your date of travel, details of where you are visiting and the type of accommodation you are staying in.

Pneumococcal vaccinations

A pneumococcal vaccination is particularly recommended for patients with diabetes, asthma, bronchitis or emphysema, residents of nursing and rest homes and patients over 65 years of age. In most cases, one injection provides cover for you for life. Please book with the practice nurse.

Flu vaccinations

An influenza vaccination is particularly recommended for patients with heart, lung or kidney disease, diabetes, carers, residents of nursing and rest homes and patients over 65 years of age. A booster is needed every year.

Note: we do not routinely immunise anyone outside of these groups. However, if you are not included, some pharmacies offer this service for a fee.

Please contact the reception staff in October for details of the vaccination dates and to make an appointment. If you are unable to attend the surgery, a home visit will be arranged to undertake this facility.
