Clinics & Services

In addition to GP consultations the practice offers a range of clinics and healthcare services:

Asthma/COPD

We run a joint clinic for asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).  The clinics are run by Nicki and Penny who are trained in both asthma and COPD.  Nicki’s clinics are run on Monday and Thursday and Penny has an appointment available on Monday.  Invitations are usually sent out annually for review of the condition but appointments can be made at any time if required.

For patients who are due an annual asthma review.

Please ask us for a link or print out of our respiratory questionnaire, if you haven’t already been sent one.

If your symptoms are deteriorating or you have any concerns, please make an appointment to see the respiratory nurse, Nicki.

Cervical Cytology

Invitations are sent by an outside agency with all tests undertaken by the nursing team.  Please endeavour to attend these appointments.

Influenza vaccination

The flu virus is generally a mild illness but can cause serious complications for small numbers of people, for example those over 65 or with a chronic disease.  Vaccination is the best way of protecting yourself against infection and those close to you by preventing the spread of the virus. If you think you meet the criteria for vaccination please speak to reception about booking an appointment.

Minor Surgery

A number of GP’s in the practice carry out minor surgery procedures.  These can be arranged by appointment with a doctor.

Smoking Cessation

We offer a referral to a smoking cessation service, for committed patients who wish to give up smoking.  For further information please ask at reception.
