Phlebotomy
You may make an appointment for the clinics which are held Monday to Friday, 08.00–09.00. Home visits for phlebotomy may be arranged by phoning the surgery.
Travel vaccinations
We offer a full travel service. You will need an appointment with the practice nurse to ascertain which vaccinations may be required. The nurse will initiate your travel vaccination course at this appointment. For information regarding other types of vaccinations please contact your GP’s secretary. Download a list of fees.
Fit note
You do not require a doctor’s sickness certificate for any illness lasting seven days or less. If you are sick for more than seven days, your employer can ask you to give them some form of medical evidence to support payment of SSP (statutory sick pay). More information is available on the Gov.uk website.
Well Man clinic
Appointments may be arranged with a practice nurse.
Well Woman clinic
We operate a recall system for cervical smear tests at the recommended intervals and provide ‘Well Woman’ checks on request.
First Contact Physiotherapy
You can now see a specialist FCP physiotherapist instead of the GP for face-to-face assessment of musculoskeletal problems (IE spines/joints/soft-tissues/some nerve issues). This gives you fast access to expert diagnosis and a treatment plan to move things forward. When necessary, FCP’s can arrange prescriptions for pain-relief, investigations to aid diagnosis and onward referral to other services if required.
Cancer care
The practice benefits from the services of a Sue Ryder Nurse Specialist. Please contact: Manorlands Hospice, 01535 642308
Private fees
Some services we can provide are not covered by the NHS, for example travel claim forms. Private medical examinations are carried out by prior arrangement. Download a list of private fees here.
