Flu vaccinations are recommended for all patients over 65 and anyone who falls into the current at risk group.

We welcome women to make an appointment in the surgery before pregnancy for a pre-conception health check especially before a first pregnancy. Most routine antenatal care is now done by Community Midwives. If you are at risk of problems then the hospital will be more involved with your care.

Post-natal and 8 Week Baby Check: Done by the doctors.

Women aged 24 to 50 are invited every 3 years and aged 50 to 64 years are invited every 5 years to have a free smear test as part of the national cervical screening programme.

These tests are done by the practice nurse.

A comprehensive Child Development Service is run by the doctors and health visitor.

You will be notified to attend when your child’s immunisations and health checks are due.

If you are unable to attend the surgery for nursing care, the district nurses may visit you at home.

A health visitor for older people is also part of this team.

Patients who have drugs problems are encouraged to see Drs Hanratty and Harbord who have an interest in this problem.

Our nurses offer several Health Surveillance Clinics including:

Update about Long Term Condition Reviews  

We are making a change to how we invite patients for their Long Term Condition Reviews.  

From now on, patients will be invited for their review during their birth month each year. This new system will help us organise appointments more efficiently and ensure everyone receives their review annually.  
If you have a long term condition, please keep an eye out for your invitation during your birth month.  

As such, there will be a transition period and some patients may be invited earlier than usual during the first year to align with their birth month. We understand this may be frustrating if you’ve recently had a review, but we believe this change will be beneficial in the long term.  

Thank you for your ongoing help and support with this and hope to see you in your birth month for your review.  

If you are concerned about your long term condition or feel it is worsening please do not hesitate to contact the practice and our helpful care navigators will book you in with the appropriate clinician to discuss this further.

We provide a minor surgery service for selected conditions.

Appointments for a minor operation should only be made after an initial consultation with one of the doctors.
