Ante-natal Care

We are keen to see all our own ante-natal patients during normal surgery times and share their care with the hospital and the community midwife.

Family Planning

All doctors and nurses are fully qualified to give family planning advice during normal appointment times. We do not have separate family planning clinics. We also offer a coil fitting and contraceptive implant service.

Baby Clinic

Weekly on Tuesday between 2pm and 5.30pm with the health visitor - please book an appointment. The purpose of the clinic is to answer queries, have your baby immunised or weighed and to give advice to parents about any problems. If you would like to come at a different time please phone the surgery number and ask to speak to the health visitor to arrange a mutually convenient time.

Fortnightly consultations are also available with a doctor on alternate Tuesdays (between 3.30pm and 4.30pm) and Thursdays (between 10.30am and 11.30m), please telephone for an appointment.

Normally the health visitor will send you an appointment for developmental checks and reminders about immunisations. Immunisations are normally carried out by the practice nurses, sometimes on Tuesdays between 2pm and 5.30pm by the health visitor.

Cervical Smears

We strongly encourage all women between the ages of 20 and 65 to have a cervical smear every three years. Arrange an appointment with the nurse at your convenience. We have an automatic computerised recall system for patients. If your smear showed an abnormality you will be asked to attend more frequently.  If you have had a cervical screen outside the practice, privately or abroad, please let us know by calling us or providing us with a copy.
