Clinics
Cervical Smears
This is a check to detect changes of the neck of the womb which, if left untreated, may develop into
cancer in future years. All doctors and practice nurses perform smears and strongly advise that all women
between the age of 25 and 64 years attend regularly.
The practice implements a recall system in line with national guidelines.
Family Planning
We offer advice about family planning.
Maternity Care
All the doctors have had postgraduate training in obstetrics. Antenatal care is provided during the
normal surgeries or at special antenatal clinics. A midwife is present on Fridays 1.30 - 4.00pm.
Immunisatons
Parents will be notified of their children’s appointments. Immunisations are given at the surgery.
It is recommended that everyone has a tetanus booster every 10 years. Other immunisations, eg influenza
and vaccination prior to foreign travel are also performed. Your doctor or practice nurse can advise you.
Child Health Surveillance
We offer child development checks at the intervals agreed in local guidelines. Parents will be notified
of their children's appointments.
