Services

This is to help patients on warfarin monitor their blood levels and enable them to receive the correct dose of medication they require to stay healthy. This is a Nurse led clinic

Patients with asthma are encouraged to attend this clinic routinely so that their treatment and inhalers can be assessed. Inhaler technique training can be provided.

Health Visitors are registered nurses with specialist training who offer support to families and individuals from pregnancy, through birth, the pre-school years and beyond. If you wish to contact them an appointment can be made at their weekly Child Health Clinic, or telephone 01252 373057. There is an answer phone and your call will be returned.

The Practice Nurses hold a regular weekly clinic for baby immunisations and pre-school boosters, which is usually on a Thursday afternoon, but please ask if you cannot make this day. We follow the national programme of child immunisations and your child will be called for an appointment at the relevant stage to protect them from illness such as diphtheria, tetanus, polio, whooping cough, measles, mumps, rubella and Meningitis C, as well as the annual flu vaccination.

Please check the following points before bringing your child to the surgery for immunisation injections. If the answer to any of these questions is “Yes” then still attend the clinic but tell the nurse first.

1. Is your child suffering from any feverish illness?

2. Has your child ever had a fit or convulsion?

3. Is your child taking steroid treatment?

4. Does your child suffer from any disease affecting his/her immune system?

5. Has your child suffered any reaction from a previous injection?

This is a nurse led clinic ensuring all our COPD patients receive their annual COPD health checks and also to ensure patients newly diagnosed with COPD are on the correct treatment plan.

This service requires a referral by your GP

This clinic is open to our patients requiring wound dressings, either following a hospital procedure as well as dressings required due to injury or conditions, such as leg ulcers.

If you have a painful joint, for example from injury or arthritis, your doctor may offer you a joint injection of a steroid medicine. Steroids reduce inflammation and so can help reduce pain and swelling in your joint and allow it to move more easily.

The Learning Disability Health Checks are carried out by a GP and should be undertaken at least once a year.

Once you have been assessed and referred, you will be put onto an internal waiting list and contacted when an appointment is available. Each minor surgery appointment will take approx. half an hour.

Our Practice Nurses run a travel clinic for advice on health matters for all patients travelling abroad, in addition to giving the necessary injections and providing advice on appropriate malaria prevention tablets. Travel Clinics can get very busy, particularly in peak holiday periods. When travelling abroad, it is advisable to contact the practice in plenty of time to be able to book an appointment (we suggest approx. 6 weeks before your travel date). We ask that you complete a Travel Health Questionnaire (available from reception or from our website www.GiffardDriveSurgery.co.uk) and hand this in to Reception. The Travel Nurse will assess your requirements and we will call you to make an appointment.

WE ARE A YELLOW FEVER CENTRE - this service is available for registered AND NON-REGISTERED patients. Please note, Yellow Fever vaccinations are a chargeable service.
