Also high blood pressure, heart, asthma and diabetes clinics.
Over 75 Health Checks
These are offered to this age group on an annual basis with the Doctor or Practice Nurse.
Smears / Breast Self Examination
Are usuallly undertaken by the Practice Nurse. A chlamydial swab may be offered at the same visit as an additional screening test for this silent and potentially serious infection.
Tetanus Vaccinations
Last for 10 years and should be kept up to date. A total of 5 in a lifetime are generally felt to offer long term immunity.
Travel Vaccinations / Malarial Avoidance Advice
Can be discussed and planned with the Practice Nurse. You may need to pay a prescription charge for certain items that are available on the NHS. Other items will need to be ordered in for you and charged for. We may also charge you an administration fee. Please don't leave it until the last minute to have your vaccinations - some vaccinations are required several weeks before travel in order to give you adequate protection.
Please note we are NOT a Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre and as small surgery there may be certain times when we are not able to provide travel vaccination services.
