CLINICSSERVICES PROVIDED BY THE PRACTICEFamily Planning A full range of contraceptive services is available (eg. pill, cap, intra-uterine device). You can be seen either by making an appointment or coming to one of our weekly "drop-in" clinics. Please contact reception for further details. Cervical Smears When a cervical smear is due you will be contacted by the surgery. The practice nurse performs the test although your doctor will do so if you wish. Medical Examinations We offer a full range of medical examinations including driving medicals, employment medicals, sports medicals etc. Examinations are by appointment and the current fees are listed in the waiting room. Travel Vaccinations and Advice Travel vaccinations and advice are available from our practice nurse. Please make an appointment well in advance, preferably at least eight weeks before you travel. When you make your appointment you will be asked to complete a "travel form". This helps the nurse to determine what vaccinations you should have. Patients Over 75 Years If you are over 75 years you should be seen annually by your doctor, the practice nurse or district nurse. This can be arranged at the surgery or, if that is not possible, a home visit will be arranged. New Patients All newly registered patients are offered a health check. This gives us the opportunity of taking a brief medical history before we receive your medical records. Certain services offered by the practice are not provided by the NHS and attract a fee. These include private sick certificates, insurance claim forms, council housing letters etc. Full detail of current fees are listed in the waiting room. Payments must be made before letters and certificates are released.
If you have any doubts about any of the immunisations please speak to either your doctor or one of our health visitors.
