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

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.

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.
