Cervical Smears
Routine smears are carried out in accordance with current Health Service guidelines. You will be invited to attend a clinic run by our practice nurse or one of our female doctors.
Holiday Vaccinations
Advice on all holiday vaccinations is available from the practice nurse. A fee will be payable for those injections which are not available on the NHS. We are an approved centre for yellow fever vaccinations.
Adult Immunisations
A tetanus booster is recommended every 10 years until you have had a total of five in your life.
Children’s Immunisation/Infant Development Assessment
Child immunisation clinics are held every Wednesday afternoon. It is important that children are fully immunised. Thanks to immunisation, illnesses that are potentially crippling or fatal are now rare and can be prevented.
Appointments will be allocated by the Health Authority for clinics at the surgery. If, however, you cannot make an appointment, please telephone the surgery to cancel. Another appointment will be sent to you. If you find it impossible to attend on Wednesday afternoons please contact the practice nurse to see if alternative arrangements can be made.
Child development checks are carried out by a doctor at six weeks of age and thereafter by the health visitor.
