We provide a variety of non-NHS services, please contact the practice for further details.

Due to work load pressures all Non-NHS services such as doctors letters will take a minimum of 7 days to complete. 

The practice is two years into a national five year programme of Health Checks for patients aged between 40 and 74 which help to identify potential risks early. By having this check and following the advice of our health professionals, you improve your chances of living a healthier life.

If you have a family history of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes or kidney disease you may be more at risk.

The practice will be inviting in all patients who are between the ages of 40 and 74 for a health check. This will involve taking blood pressure readings, weight and height (BMI), a blood test to check your cholesterol level, and carrying out a cardio-vascular risk assessment.

Firstly we will ask you to have a blood test with our phlebotomist or healthcare assistant. The check itself will take about 20 minutes with our practice nurse, who will ask some simple questions, record your weight and height, age and sex, and take your blood pressure. You will be taken through your results and told what they mean, and be given personalised advice on how to lower your risk and maintain a healthy life style.

Lifestyle advice will be given to help you to stay healthy for longer, and to prevent heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and kidney disease.

It is expected to take up to five years to complete the first cycle, so please be patient while awaiting your turn. You will then be invited back every five years to monitor your health until you reach the age of 74.

If you are outside the 40 – 74 age range and concerned about your health, you should make an appointment to see your GP.

The practice provides a limited medical foreign travel service, including advice, equipment and some vaccinations. If you are travelling abroad, please ask at reception for a questionnaire to submit to the practice nurse in advance of your appointment, or check out the Foreign Travel section of this website. Please allow plenty of time, before you travel, for the necessary treatment, as it may not be possible at short notice to develop the protection or immunity you’ll need.

Flu clinics are held usually from October to December. If you suffer from a long-term illness, you will be entitled to have these vaccinations free of charge.

Our HCA’s are qualified to carry out procedures such as taking blood, ECGs, smoking cessation advice, new patient checks, blood pressure monitoring, and flu vaccinations. Clinics for Blood Tests are available Monday – Friday each morning. INR Tests are not available on Friday mornings.  

If you suffer from long term conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, lung disease such as asthma or COPD, or Hypertension, our doctors and nurses will be involved in monitoring your illness. You will be invited to attend the surgery for a check-up once a year, usually during the month of your birthday.

Our community nurses run a continence clinic at the practice. If you suffer from urinary incontinence please speak to your doctor who will refer you to the clinic.

We provide comprehensive maternity care, co-ordinated by our community midwives with support from your GP, and when appropriate, a hospital specialist. Your midwife will also advise you about post-natal support.

The practice can provide you with advice about avoiding sexually transmitted diseases, and with Chlamydia Screening.
