CLINICS

New Patients

New patients are asked to fill in a questionnaire and attend the surgery to see their prospective doctor or the nurse for a health check. It is helpful if you bring a small urine sample with you to this check.

Minor Surgery

Certain minor surgical procedures can be performed at the surgery. After an initial consultation, a special appointment will be arranged.

Over 75s

A yearly health check-up for the over 75s can be arranged by appointment with either of the practice nurses. If you are unable to attend the surgery then a home visit may be arranged.

Baby Clinic

The baby clinic is run on a Monday afternoon by our team of practice nurses. Appointments are available between 2.00 - 3.30pm for eight week checks and immunisations. Please note that the baby clinic is NOT for sick babies or children, who will be seen during surgery hours, as a GP or health visitor is not always present.
