Special services
Cervical Screening
We recommend that cervical smear tests are carried out every 3 years between the ages of 24 and 49, and every 5 years from age 50- 65. In view of the importance of this procedure in the prevention of cancer of the cervix, we make sure that your records are kept up to date. The practice ensures that all eligible patients, are invited to attend the screening.
If your test has been preformed somewhere else (e.g. a Health Centre or Hospital) please inform us in order for us to update your medical records. Your up to date medical records are very important.
Contraceptive Services
Advice and management is given on all types of contraception, i.e. pill, coil, cap, injections, etc. Emergency Contraceptive Guidance Leaflet, can be obtained from the reception area or download above.
Diabetic Reviews
Patients suffering from diabetes should have regular checks including and annual reviews, along with checking for albumin in the urine. This policy can help to check for complications such as heart disease or kidney failure. Patients will therefore be invited for 6 and 12 monthly reviews.
Maternity and Medical Services
Ante-natal and post-natal clinics are run on a regular basis.

We offer the full range of immunisations for children and adults e.g. diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Hib, polio, MMR and influenza, pneumococcal, etc.
