Appointments (Page 2 of 2)Practice Nursing Services
We have a team of practice nurses who you will be able to see instead of a doctor for some of your care. They provide a wide range of treatments, advice and services. Our nurses are happy to see you for any of the following:- minor illnesses, medication reviews, contraception, cervical smears, BP checks, all vaccinations including travel, asthma & diabetic appointments, smoking cessation and well-person checks. To make an appointment with the practice nurse please contact reception.
Health Care Checks
Our practice nurses offer health-care checks for all patients aged 40 and over. This gives us the opportunity to take your blood pressure and discuss any health needs or concerns you may have. If you are elderly and housebound, we can arrange for a practice nurse to do a home visit.Home Visits
If you need a doctor to visit you at home because you are too unwell to come to the surgery, please phone before 10 am whenever possible. The receptionist will ask for an indication of the nature of the problem. This information helps the doctors plan their home visits and to assess the degree of urgency. Please help us by coming to the surgery whenever possible. Home visits take the doctor a great deal more time than surgery consultations and sometimes full examinations and tests cannot be done at home. Difficulty with transport is not in itself a valid reason to request a home visit.
