Family Planning
The doctors offer a full range of family planning services including coil and Implanon insertions. The practice nurses are also available for advice and follow up.
These services are confidential and are open to patients of all ages, including those not registered with us.
Foreign Travel and Immunisations
If possible, when going abroad, make an appointment with the practice nurse about two months before your date of departure, and complete a travel questionnaire (available from reception or use the online version) beforehand. This allows time to plan and complete a course of any necessary injections. If time is short, an amended schedule may be organised. We have been approved by the Department of Health as a Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre. Not all travel immunisations are available on the NHS. Unfortunately NHS England has decided that no doctors may issue prescriptions for anti-malarial’s. Some may be obtained over the counter at a pharmacy and some require a private prescription.
Flu and Pneumonia vaccination clinics
Held in October and November each year please look out for advertising.
Minor Surgery
These procedures are available by appointment; please ask the receptionist.
