How to book a screening?
Kidney Health Awareness
Your kidneys filter waste, balance fluids, and regulate blood pressure—keeping them healthy is vital for your overall well-being!
Autumn/Winter Vaccinations
All patients over 65 or with longstanding respiratory or circulatory disorders will be offered a flu vaccination in October each year.
Family Planning
A comprehensive family planning service and advice is available by appointment with either the practice nurses or one of the doctors.
Health Support and Self-Referral Services
For patients seeking advice or help, please consider the following services before booking a GP appointment. This helps save clinicians’ time and allows it to be allocated to another patient, while also providing you with direct 1-to-1 care tailored to your needs.
Pharmacy Referrals
Patients may be directed to a pharmacy instead of requiring a GP appointment, ensuring quicker access to care and treatment. This approach highlights alternative options, such as consulting a pharmacist for expert advice, checking trusted online resources for guidance, or purchasing over-the-counter medication when appropriate.
Maternity
All the doctors and the community midwife provide maternity medical care for pregnant women.

Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:

Travel Vaccinations
We offer travel advice and vaccinations at the surgery. Our practice nurse can assess your needs and recommend vaccines based on your completed questionnaire.
Please submit your travel questionnaire between 6 – 12 weeks before your departure to allow sufficient time for appointments and to ensure we have the most up-to-date information. If needed, the nurse may arrange a telephone consultation to discuss your travel plans in more detail.
Due to limited availability, you may need to visit a travel clinic for vaccinations (charges may apply).
For more information, contact the surgery.
- Travel Questionnaire Assessment: Conducted by a qualified nurse to evaluate your travel needs. (see below if you would like to submit a questionnaire.)
- Vaccination Administration: The clinician will administer the necessary (if any) vaccinations based on the assessment.
