Stop Smoking Clinics
The Practice runs a stop smoking clinic that we encourage our patients to book an appointment for if they are considering giving up.
Minor Surgery
Our clinical team carry out some minor surgeries for non-cosmetic benign skin conditions. Your doctor will advise if you are suitable to have a skin lesion removed at the practice.
Womens Health
We administer the cervical cancer screening programme at the surgery and our clinical team can help with consultations for contraception, including the fitting of contraceptive coils and implants, we can advise on HRT and the menopause.
You are welcome to consult with a female doctor or our Practice Nurse should you prefer to see a lady for cervical smears or any other problems. Smear clinics have longer appointment slots – please tell the receptionist if you are booking a smear test so the correct appointment can be allocated and enough time allowed.
Family Planning
Advice can be obtained from your own doctor or from our Practice Nurse. Coils and caps can be fitted at the surgery.
Requests for contraceptive advice in the under 16 age group are dealt with sympathetically and in all cases confidentially. We participate in the C–Card system which enables younger patients to collect free condoms from the surgery discreetly at reception. Posters are up in the surgery explaining how to use this service.
