Registration Clinic
All new patients will be asked to see a member of the practice team within one month of registering for a simple health check. This enables us to obtain details of your past medical problems and to provide better care. It is a requirement on us to ensure that this valuable opportunity to collect information on your health is accepted.
Cervical Smears
We recommend that all women between the ages of 25 and 49 should have a screening smear every three years and between the ages of 50 - 64 every five years. We run a recall programme inviting patients to see the practice nurse for this. However, if you feel your appointment is overdue please contact us on 01869 322942 to arrange an appointment.
All smear results are communicated in writing to the patient as soon as we receive them. If you have not heard from us three months after the smear has been taken please ring and ask to speak to a practice nurse.
Well Person Health Checks
We recommend a health check if you have not seen your doctor in the last three years. This may be booked with our Health Visitor.
Diabetic Clinic
Katie Milne and Jane Stanford run regular diabetic clinics. Patients may call The Health Centre to book appointments for this.
Asthma Clinic
A weekly asthma clinic is held on Thursdays between 3.15pm – 5.30pm. Patients may telephone for an appointment. We encourage all patients with asthma to be seen at least annually. It would be helpful if you could bring any treatment you are on to the appointment.
Child Development Clinic
Child health development checks are performed by all the partners.
Child Immunisation Clinic
This takes place every Wednesday from 2.00 - 2.45pm.
Minor Surgery
All the partners perform minor surgery. This should first be discussed with your doctor in a normal surgery appointment.
Contraception Advice
All of the doctors offer a full range of family planning care during routine consultations. Emergency contraception is available on site and is a fully confidential service.
Holiday Vaccinations
Advice and all holiday vaccinations, including yellow fever, are available from the practice nurse. Some vaccines are not available routinely on the NHS and a fee may be charged.

Medical examinations for special purposes eg elderly drivers, pre-employment, insurance medicals etc, can be arranged by appointment.
A fee, as recommended by the British Medical Association, may be payable for these examinations.
