Clinical Services

The practice aim is to use our broad range of experience and expertise to treat patients holistically and according to evidence‑based medicine.  Where appropriate and specialist treatment is required, we will endeavour to offer the choice of a specialist care provider http://www.chooseandbook.nhs.uk/patients

We offer the following services:

Family Planning

We offer contraceptive care and advice, including pill checks, contraceptive injections, fitting of Intrauterine Devices (IUD) also known as the 'contraceptive coil' and contraceptive implants. If you would like to discuss any of the above services please make an appointment to see Dr Maguire, Dr Gormley or Dr Lancashire.

The emergency contraceptive pill (morning after pill) is available, free of charge without prescription, from most pharmacies, sexual health clinics and most NHS walk-in centres and minor injuries units. 

Antenatal Care

Wednesday 8.45 hrs - 15.00 hrs

When you first learn you are pregnant you are able to access a midwife directly through the practice.  You will be given a ‘booking appointment’ at which the midwife will ask you a few questions and carry out some general health checks. The midwife will provide you with information to help you make your choices regarding screening tests on offer to you. You will be seen regularly throughout your pregnancy either at the practice or at the hospital of your choice, or both.

Child Health and Immunisations

All new babies and children are invited at intervals health checks and vaccinations. Please see the link for the NHS Immunisation Schedule for Children http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/vaccinations/Pages/vaccination-schedule-age-checklist.aspx

Minor Surgery

We offer a range of procedures including joint injections, skin excisions, in-growing toe nail removal, etc, which can be done at the surgery. Please discuss this with your doctor who will refer you to Dr Marshall.

All other services can be undertaken by the Practice Nurses or Healthcare Assistant - please book an appointment informing the medical receptionist which type of appointment that you require.

Health Promotion

We are keen to try and promote good health and would like to invite any patients who have not been seen within the last 3 years to attend for a health check. Please make an appointment with the practice nurse or health care assistant.

Test Results                                    

Inquiries should be made 10 days after the test to ensure the result has been received.

Please contact the surgery to obtain your results after 14.00 hrs. The doctor will usually advise the medical receptionist of your results. Should the doctor wish to discuss the results, you will be contacted via letter or telephone and requested to make an appointment.

The practice has a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection and we will only release test results to the person to whom they relate unless that person has given prior permission for the release of this data or they are not capable of understanding the results.

It is your responsibility to find out the results of your tests and to make an appointment to discuss them with your doctor if you are advised to do so.

Urine Samples

Please bring urine samples in before 3pm. Samples will not be accepted by the receptionist unless requested by an GP or nurse. All samples must come with a completed slip provided by a Practice Clinician.

Minor Ailments

The minor ailment scheme is designed to enable people with minor health conditions to access medicines and advice they would otherwise visit their doctor for.

It allows patients to see a qualified health professional at a convenient and accessible location within their community, and means patients do not need to wait for a GP appointment or queue up for a valuable A&E slot with a non-urgent condition.
