CLINICSNew 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.
