Well Woman Clinic

Smears are generally performed by one of our trained practice nurses at our Well Woman Clinics and routine health checks such as blood pressure monitoring will also be done. Written invitations will be sent directly to you. If you are unable to attend the appointment it would be much appreciated if you would contact the surgery to cancel/re-arrange the appointment.

Maternity Medical Services

Useful information about our local antenatal service can be found at the Aberdeen Maternity Hospital website.
