Cervical Smears

It is recommended that al women between ages 25 – 65 (except most of those who have had a hysterectomy) should have a smear test. Please make an appointment with a practice nurse. Please also bring a specimen of urine.

Family Planning & Contraception

The practice has trained family planning nurses. Doctors and nurses can give advice on all aspects of family planning including the fitting of caps, coils and implants.

"Stop Smoking" Advice

The practice provides access to a smoking cessation service.

Travel Immunisations

We generally need to be advised six weeks before you travel, so that we can put together individual health travel plans for you, which may include immunisations. 

A Travel Form needs to be completed and returned to the surgery before your appointment with the Practice Nurse - this helps us to tailor your vaccinations and advice to your destination and nature of travel.

Most travel injections must be given at least two weeks before you travel for them to become effective.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Non NHS Services

Some services are not covered by the NHS. The practice has a policy of charging for such services which include medical examinations, completion of forms for private insurance and private certificates. A tariff is displayed in the waiting room. Please allow 8 working days. Completed documents will be left in Reception for collection.
