Baby Clinic

The Baby Clinic is held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons by appointment. 

 

Child Immunisation Clinic

Due to the complexity of vaccines used we prefer to carry out all childhood vaccinations in dedicated time slots on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Appointments are usually sent by post. If this presents particular problems for you please speak to a member of staff.

Mid-teen booster vaccinations can be performed at any time.

Chronic Disease Management

Our nursing team manage chronic illnesses such as Asthma, Diabetes, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), CKD (chronic kidney disease), hypothyroidism, and lots more.

Patients with a chronic illness may need regular checks to monitor their health and wellbeing. This may involve certain tests, such as a blood test, a blood pressure check and sometimes an ECG (echocardiogram) to check their heart.

If you think that you may have an undiagnosed chronic illness, please contact the surgery for an appointment with a doctor. The doctor will then arrange the appropriate tests if required.

chronic disease management

If you already have a diagnosis your doctor or nurse will be able to advise you of which tests you need and how frequently you will need to be tested. Please visit our long term condtions page for full details on how we manage patient reviews.
