Health Promotion

Health promotion is undertaken by the nursing staff opportunistically. They also provide advice on diabetes, hypertension, asthma, HRT, contraception and diet/lifestyle.

NHS Health Checks

The Practice offers Free NHS Health Checks to all patients 40 to 74, who do not currently have an existing long term condition.

Family Planning

All doctors provide family planning services by appointment within normal surgery times. In addition we can fit and/or remove Implanon and coils.

Antenatal

This is held every Thursday between 13:00 and 15:30 by appointment. The clinic is run by the community midwife.

Postnatal

Postnatal checks are undertaken by appointment with the doctors. Your postnatal appointment is arranged by the surgery and will be sent to you by post.

Cervical Smear Tests

These are recommended for all women between age 25 and 64 but are advisable from age 20 onwards. This is carried out routinely at around three- yearly intervals for ladies 25-49 years and five-yearly from 50-64 years. Sometimes more frequent tests are required and in this case you will be notified by letter and asked to make an appointment with either the doctor or the practice nurse.

Children’s Vaccinations

These are by appointment only with the nurse practitioner on Tuesday afternoons between 15:30 and 17:30. If this is not convenient during normal surgery times by arrangement. baby_district_nurse

Child Health Surveillance

Child health surveillance checks are carried out by the doctors on all children registered for this service at 6 weeks. The 6 week check is carried out at the mother’s postnatal appointment time. The 8 month, 2 year and 31/2 year checks are carried out by the health visitor and additional checks can be carried out by the doctor if requested by the health visitor.

Smoking Cessation (Quit51)

If you would like help to stop smoking please give your details to the receptionist.

Adult Vaccinations

If routine vaccinations and travel immunisations are required please enquire at reception.

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to complete a travel vaccination form which you can get from reception. You will then be sent a letter detailing which vaccinations you may require.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Caribbean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

It is important to make this initial contact as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as more than one appointment may be required to receive the full course for some vaccines. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your first appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

Travel Health Questionnaire
