Help Us To help You
Look after your health. Take regular exercise. Cut down on fatty foods, alcohol and smoking. Ask the doctors or the practice nurse for help or advice.

Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception can generally be provided up to five days after unprotected intercourse. Please make an emergency appointment with either a doctor or nurse if you think you might need emergency contraception. Remember, the sooner you use emergency contraception the more effective it is, so don’t delay! 

Baby clinics

The practice holds weekly baby clinics. These are held on a Tuesday and run by the heath visitors. You do not need to make an appointment. Please bring your child’s ‘red book’ and sign in at reception upon arrival.

Non-NHS Services

Certain examinations are not covered by the NHS. These include medicals for HGV licences, PSV licences, fitness for occupation, travel and sporting activities etc, together with some medical certificates. All of these services can be arranged via the reception staff who will inform you of the fee involved.

Fees should be paid in advance of collecting forms and certificates.
