Services

Wherever possible, we provide appointments for all clinical needs throughout the working week.  This offers patients far more choice than the traditional approach in which 'clinics' are offered at set times (for the benefit of doctors and nurses, rather than the patient).
Our receptionists will be delighted to discuss your needs with you and help you find the most convenient appointment time.

The clinic provides 8-week checks and baby immunisations.
Tuesdays - By appointment only
Thursdays - You may walk in without an appointment from 1.15-2.30pm.

We can fit or remove IUD contraceptives for patients of other Practices as well as our own. Please make an appointment.

Please make an appointment with your GP to discuss your problem.  He/she will decide whether to refer you to our in-house Minor Surgery service.  All procedures have to be pre-approved by West Herts Primary Care Trust.

Your doctor will refer you to our in-house counselling service if this would be helpful to you.

We provide an evening service for the convenience of patients who work during the day.

Please book an appointment with the Practice Nurse for travel immunisations and advice.
