Diabetic

All diabetics who are not regularly monitored at the hospital will be invited to attend this clinic on a regular basis.  Progress is carefully monitored to reduce the long term risks associated with diabetes, such as heart disease and deteriorating eyesight. 

 

Asthma & Spirometry 

We have clinicians at each surgery who have an interest in Asthma and COPD (smoker's asthma). Regular monitoring of asthmatics is recommended and you are advised to make an appointment with one of these clinicians where possible. Additionally, we have a nurse who can perform an asthma review for you.

BP Management

We have Nurses and Health Care Assistants who can check your blood pressure in a 5 minute appointment. Additionally we have a blood pressure machine in our downstairs waiting area for patients to use themselves. A member of our reception team will be happy to assist. It is important that our patients whose blood pressure is poorly controlled have regular checks, providing comprehensive screening, advice and relevant medication.

baby clinic

Baby Clinic

Child Immunisation clinics are held regularly. You will receive a letter from the hospital with an invite to this clinic. You will need to call the surgery to make an appointment. 

All children are checked regularly during their first five years of life.  This will be done by the Health Visitor.  You will either be contacted by the health visitor or sent an appointment to attend one of the 4 clinics held in various children clinics around the city.

 

Smoke Stop

Our smoking cessation service has a quit rate of 80% - that means that 4 out of every 5 people who attend the service manage to quit.

If you wish to stop smoking, the Practice Nurses are available to offer advice.  Your first appointment will need to be 20 minutes so that we can discuss your reasons for wanting to quit, how we can support you and we will also do some test and give you some information. We can also discuss whether you feel 1:1 support or a group environment would be best for you.
