CLINICS

The practice has many clinics run by trained nurse specialists. Most patients will be on long-term medication. Some patients may only require an annual check-up. It is advised to make your appointments in very good time before tablets run out.

IMMUNISATION

Prevention is better than cure! We run a full range of immunisation programmes suitable for children, adults and for travel purposes. We are also a World Health Organisation approved Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.

CERVICAL SMEARS

This is a simple and important test, usually done by our nurses. We recommend that women aged 25 to 49 should have a smear test every three years, then every five years until the age of 64. You will be sent a reminder when your test is due.

MATERNITY AND CONTRACEPTIVE SERVICES
