IMMUNISATIONS
We offer a full Vaccination and Immunisation Service.
Childhood Immunisations are usually carried out on Thursday afternoon between 1.00pm and 2.30pm or at other times by arrangement.
Foreign Travel, Tetanus and Influenza Vaccinations are given by the Practice Nurse, who will provide further details on request. We recommend that all patients over 65 and those under 65 who suffer from a chronic disease have an annual ‘flu vaccination. Patients over 65 should be vaccinated against Pneumonia and those aged 70-80 years should be vaccinated against shingles.
CERVICAL CANCER-SMEAR TESTS
Cancer of the Cervix can be prevented and all female patients between the ages of 25 and 65 are advised to have regular Smear Tests. These are important because they can detect the early signs of disease which is easily treated. There is a national “Call and Recall” system to remind you about the tests, which are carried out by the Practice Nurse by appointment. Patients who do not attend for screening are followed up by the Practice.
CHRONIC DISEASE CLINICS
Our Nurses have received specialised training in Chronic Disease Management and offer help and advice along with disease monitoring clinics.
We expect our patients to co-operate fully with the surgery if you are contacted to attend a clinic to monitor your health.
