Smoking cessation clinics are run as a one to one with the patient by our specially trained Health Care Assistants with support from the doctors to allow full prescription of smoking cessation medication, such as champix, nicotine replacement and zyban.

The practice nurses run travel advice and immunisation clinics at both surgeries. We have a travel form available at reception or downloaded from our website so that you can fill out your itinerary for us to work out your immunisation needs well before you travel. If at all possible please complete the form at least 8 weeks before travel so that there is enough time for any courses of vaccines to be completed and for any vaccines to be fully working. We will also advise on the up to date malaria information for your travel area. We are an official yellow fever vaccination centre.

Not all vaccine costs are covered by the NHS so you may have to pay for certain vaccines. We do accept card payment

We have an automatic doppler machine which we use to check vascular blood flow to the legs. This is run by our health care assistants.
