Medical Services and Clinics
Below are the services and clinics available in your area.
Cervical smears
All women between the age of 25 and 65 should have a regular smear test every three to five years. We send out appointment reminders to all of our patients to let you know when your next smear is due.
Child development
We send out appointments for regular checks and immunisations for pre-school children. This is to make sure that our doctors and health visitors can check that children are developing normally and that there’s nothing to worry about.
Contraceptive services
Our doctors and nurses give confidential advice on all aspects of family planning, including coil or implant fitting and emergency contraception.
Health screening
We offer a wide range of health screening for men and women at our surgery.
Mammograms
Women aged between 50 and 71 are advised to attend the Breast Screening Unit every three years for a mammography. This is to make sure we can check and detect any abnormalities as soon as possible. These appointments are sent out by the local Breast Unit.
Pregnancy care
Our antenatal clinics are held at the Green Ark Children's centre telephone: 01752 565555.
If you have recently become pregnant please visit Midwife Booking Form to start the ball rolling and register for your first midwife appointment.
Our postnatal clinics are held at our surgery by our doctors and nurses.
Travel advice, vaccinations and immunisations
We offer routine vaccinations and general advice to our patients travelling abroad.
It may take up to eight weeks for a full course of vaccinations, so please contact us in advance to give you plenty of time if you’re planning to go abroad where you need to be vaccinated.
