Surgery services and clinics

All women between the age of 24 and 65 should have a regular smear test every three to five years. We send out appointment reminders to all of our patients to let you know when your next smear is due.

If you have been recalled for a cervical smear or know that you are overdue, you can book this appointment online using Patient Access or the NHS App, by selecting appointment type 'Cervical Smear'

We send out appointments for regular checks and immunisations for pre-school children. This is to make sure that our doctors and health visitors can check that children are developing normally and that there’s nothing to worry about.

Our doctors and nurses give confidential advice on all aspects of family planning, including coil fitting and emergency contraception.

Women aged between 50 and 70 are advised to attend the Breast Screening Unit every three years for a mammography. 

This is to check for any breast abnormalities as soon as possible.

Invitations for screening are sent automatically to women until their 71^st birthday.

Outside of  breast screening recalls, women with breast symptoms should see their GP.

This is to make sure we can check and detect any abnormalities as soon as possible. 

Find breast screening services on the NHS website.

You will be allocated a midwife team who will manage your maternity care.  You will be invited to the surgery for a baby check when your baby is 6-8 weeks old. 

We offer routine vaccinations and general advice to our patients travelling abroad.

It may take up to eight weeks for a full course of vaccinations, so please contact us in advance to give you plenty of time if you're planning to go abroad where you need to be vaccinated.

Visit our Vaccination page for more information.

Some services available are not covered under our contract with the NHS. This means that these services need to be paid for.

The services that include charges are:

• Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements
• Insurance claim forms
• Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
• Private sick notes

Our reception staff and GPs will be happy to talk through the charges with you during your appointment.

For X-rays or scans, your GP will email the request to the hospital, then you need to ring them 48 hours later to arrange a date on  01803 656326

If your GP gives you a Chest XRAY form you may not need an appointment, some hospitals have walk in clinics for these.

For DEXA scans (these check bone density and look for Osteoporosis), ring 5 working days later on 01803 656339

You can pick one of these options:

• A video appointment

• A face-to-face appointment

In a video appointment, the physio team will try to find out what is causing your problem and give you advice to help reduce your pain and improve how you move.

This is the same as a face-to-face appointment, but you might have to wait longer for a face-to-face appointment.

• Back and neck pain
• Sprains and strains
