Clinics & Services

The following services are provided. Our receptionists will help you book the appropriate appointment.

Nurse Clinics

Our nurses can see patients for family planning, travel vaccinations, health promotion, minor injuries, dressings, removal of sutures, smoking cessation and cervical smears. They can also follow up patients with hypertension (blood pressure), diabetes, asthma and disease of the airways.

If you book an appointment with a nurse who does not specialize in that procedure or do not allow the appropriate appointment slots (i.e. single, double, triple) for procedures (as outlined below), your appointment may be moved or cancelled. Unfortunately you can not book appointments online for any of the nurses.

If a certain procedure is not listed, please call the practice for further advice.

If you are booking for an NHS health check then please book with Catherine.
