In addition to providing essential management and advice when you are ill we provide a range of other services;

Monitoring Advice And Review Of Ongoing Conditions

Our team of nurses and health care assistants supported by the doctors provide regular check ups for patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, thyroid problems, epilepsy, mental health problems, asthma, chronic obstructive airways disease, rheumatoid arthritis, post splenectomy, pernicious anaemia, treatment with warfarin, hormone replacement therapy and contraception. Should you fall within one of these categories, from time to time you will be invited for a check up. We hope you see this as we do - an important opportunity to promote well being and health.

Well Baby Clinics

Are held at the surgery every Friday with Health Visitors at 10.00-11.30am.
