Family Planning/Cervical Smears

Both the doctors and nurses will advise on family planning. Cervical smears are carried out by our practice nurses by appointment. We would like all women between 25 and 49 to have a cervical smear every three years and women between 50 and 64 every five years.

Joint Injections And Verrucae Treatment

Joint injections and verrucae treatments are carried out at the surgery. Please check with appointments for availability.

Clinics are available from birth to five years for health checks and vaccinations on Mondays and on Wednesdays for weighing. These clinics are for healthy babies only; please avoid bringing sick children to these clinics. Baby clinics can be attended without an appointment for these regular checks, although reminders will be sent out when these are due.
