We will send an appointment for your baby's check-up.Please contact the surgery if you have not received an appointment by the time your baby is 6 weeks' old.

All our Practice Nurses deal with Childhood Immunisations. Child Health will send you a letter when your child is due for their immunisations. Please contact the surgery to book your child in.

Long Term Diseases - Asthma/COPD/Coronary Heart Disease/Dementia/Diabetes/Mental Health/Stroke

The doctors and the nursing team work together to provide care for patients with long term conditions, this includes an annual recall system, follow up appointments and advice.

Diabetes Clinics

This service is provided by the Doctors and Practice Nurses. Please speak to your doctor/practice nurse to be referred to this clinic or contact reception to book an appointment.

Our GPs and Practice Nurses provide this service including contraceptive implants and coil fittings; please contact the surgery for further information. The Practice Nurses have appointments available for pill checks, depo injections etc

Many of our GPs undertake joint injections. If you have been advised that this is what you require, you will normally be able to have the procedure done here at Firsway.

Blood Tests - Phlebotomy Clinics

There are a range of clinics available across Trafford where you can have your blood taken. Please call the Blood Test Booking number on 0161 934 8361 to book your appointment. If any of the tests are “fasting” you must not have anything to eat or drink from 10pm the night before, except plenty of tap water and your usual medication (Insulin dependent diabetics should not fast). Appointments for under 16s bloods only are available at Trafford General Hospital Children's Resource Centre Telephone: 0161 746 2710. (Appointment Only).

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
