Blood Tests

Our healthcare assistant is a qualified phlebotomist and we are able to offer blood tests at the practice for some of our patients – please speak to Reception for details.  Appointments are available on Monday – Friday Mornings.

Family Planning

Our GPs and nurses can give advice on contraception and can also give teenage pregnancy advice.  Advice is also available on healthy eating and vitamins to take before conception to ensure your baby has the best possible start.  Please make an appointment at reception. If you are having difficulty conceiving, please make an appointment to see one of our GPs for help and advice.

Child Health

Please make an appointment with the doctor when your baby is 8 weeks old for a routine health check.  When booking, please let the receptionist know that it is for your baby’s 8 week check and she will arrange for your baby to see the nurse afterwards to have his/her first set of injections. New mums should also make an appointment with the doctor around about this time for their own check-up.
