Minor Surgery

The removal of moles, cysts, ingrown toenails and injection of joints can be undertaken at the surgery, saving you the time and bother of a hospital visit. Please make an appointment to see the doctor first if you think you require any of these.

Health Screening

Screening involves picking up the earliest signs of illness before it has had a chance to damage your health. Any of our adult patients can come for a health check where checks will be made of your weight, height and blood pressure and our nurse can advise you on diet, smoking and other aspects of your lifestyle that may affect your health.

The prevention of heart disease is a priority and the nurses offer regular checks for patients with high blood pressure and a family history of disease. Cholesterol screening is also offered to those at risk.

Cervical Smears

Women 25 to 65 should have a cervical smear every three or five years depending on age. This is a simple, quick test which may detect early changes in the womb. If these are treated straightaway we can prevent the cancer ever developing. Patients are called for a smear by letter. If you think you are due for a smear and have not been recalled, please let us know. When making an appointment for a smear please mention this fact to the receptionist.

Mammograms

Women between the age of 50 and 65 will be offered a mammogram every three years as part of the National Breast Screening Programme with automatic recall. Should you not receive an invitation for this test please contact the surgery. The Breast Screening Service are gradually changing the automatic invitation system to include women up to 70 years old. At the moment, if you are 65 or over, you will not automatically be invited for screening but you will be screened for free every three years if you ask for it.

Carer Support

We have a Carer support officer based at the practice who can offer help
