Practice Clinical Services
The Practice is keen to offer a wide range of services to our patients. As a Practice we are dedicated to promoting good health and provide family-centered medical care. We are grateful for the co-operation of our patients and hope that we can continue work with them to achieve good health for all.
The following services are available by appointment:
Cryotherapy
This is carried out by all the doctors in the Practice.
Antenatal Care
This is provided by all the doctors in the Practice.
Sickness Certificates
If you are absent from work due to illness for less than 7 days you need to obtain a SC2 form from your employer or the DWP. If after 7 days you are still unwell, you will need to see a doctor who may then issue a medical certificate. For illness of less than 7 days, a private certificate can be issued if your company requires one. A fee will be required for this item. A SC1 form, required by the self-employed can be obtained from the surgery.
Family Planning
This is carried out by Dr Gupta & one of our Practice Nurses. It includes sexual health advice, various contraceptive options including long acting methods including implants and coils and emergency contraception.
Childhood Immunisations
These are carried out by our Practice Nurse. You will be notified by post when your appointment is. Please bring your child's "red book" with you so that all immunisations can be recorded.
Cervical Screening
These are carried out by our Practice Nurses. You will be notified by post when your next smear test is due and asked to contact the surgery to make an appointment for this. All results are sent direct to the patient as well as to the Practice.
