Services

Baby clinics are held on Tuesday mornings from 8.00am to 1.00pm at Bolton Road. These clinics are run by the Practice Nurse. You can have your baby regularly checked and discuss any minor problems and worries. A Doctor is available for advice at the baby clinic on Tuesdays.

Routine immunisations are offered to all children for Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio, Whooping Cough, HIB, Measles, Mumps and Rubella. Pre-school boosters are recommended for children over the age of 4.

We have a nurse led Diabetic Clinic on a Friday morning. A podiatrist is also available at this time.

There is an alcohol counselling clinic every Tuesday morning. Please ask at reception for an appointment.

We offer a fully confidential family planning advice and counselling service, including the fitting of coils and caps and emergency contraception. We believe sound contraception advice and services play a vital part in the well being of our patients. These clinics run in normal surgery hours. Family planning services are usually required for many years and we will arrange regular checkups to monitor your health.

A new pharmacy has been built adjoining the surgery and is open from 7.00am to 11.00pm during the week and 11.00am to 4.00pm on sundays.

We would advise one test per year. You no longer have to fast before having this test. Due to the large numbers of results we have to handle, if you do not hear anything from us five days after your test, you may assume your results are okay. If there is a problem, someone from the surgery will telephone you. If you do need to speak to someone about your results, please phone either Bolton Road on a Tuesday between 12.00pm and 2.00pm or between 1.00pm and 2.00pm on a Friday.

If you feel that you want to give up smoking or want to talk to someone about the different methods of giving up smoking, please ask at the desk for an appointment with Elaine, our smoking cessation advisor. She will offer friendly help and literature and will be there when you are ready to give up and throughout the giving up period.

If you are travelling abroad, it is advisable to make an appointment with the nurse to discuss any vaccinations you may require. There may be a charge for this service.
