Cervical Smears
Smear tests can be done by the doctors or the practice nurse. Please let the receptionist know when you arrive for a smear so that preparations can be made. Results for smear tests are texted to the mobile number on file for you. Results should be received within 4 weeks; please let us know if you haven’t heard after a month.

Chronic Disease Management
Our Practice Nursing and Pharmacy team run clinics including Diabetes, Asthma, COPD and Hypertension. If you are diagnosed with a chronic disease you will usually be referred and called for routine follow-up and monitoring.
Contraceptive Services
Routine services are available by appointment with a doctor. Please telephone for advice regarding emergency contraception.
Medicine Monitoring
Patients on certain specialised medication will be asked to attend for regular monitoring. Our phlebotomist runs clinics regularly for monitoring patents prescribed warfarin, methotrexate, sulfaslazine and others.
Minor Injuries
During our usual opening hours patients can ask for a doctor or nurse to assess an injury, provided it is less than 2 days old. You may be advised to attend A & E if we cannot treat your injury here. If you have a cut, burn or scald, a foreign body in your skin or eye, or a head injury that did not make you unconscious please phone the practice for further advice from the Doctor.
Minor Surgery
We have facilities to carry out both simple and more complex minor surgery. All doctors can carry out simple procedures, but you may be referred to one of our GPs with a special interest for a more complex procedure. Currently, we have 2 GP's who specialise in more complex minor surgery procedures - Dr Crawford and Dr Winter.
