Travel Vaccinations

If you are travelling abroad you may require immunisations. Please hand in a travel vaccine form approximately 8 weeks before travel, this will enable the nurse to look at your details see what you have received in the past, where you are traveling to and what you may need.  Most travel vaccines are free to our patients e.g Tetanus, Polio, Typhoid, Hepatitis A etc, but please check with us before.

Chronic Disease Management, eg. Diabetic/Asthma/Heart Disease etc.

We provide comprehensive care for those suffering from chronic diseases, e.g. diabetes, asthma, coronary heart disease, etc. You will be called in for an annual review with the practice nurse, this will be in the month of your birthday.

Minor Surgery

Dr Joseph can perform procedures within the Health Centre in the fully equipped minor surgery suite eg. Skin tag removal, excisions etc.

Non-NHS Medical Examinations

We are happy to carry out any non-NHS medical examinations, e.g. Heavy Goods Vehicle, Pre-Employment etc. The receptionist will be able to advise you of the fee.

Cervical Screening

We recommend that smears are taken every three years for patients under the age of 50 and every five years for those aged 50 and over (unless advised otherwise). This will be carried out by the Practice Nurse and is to ensure you are screened before any changes that can cause cervical cancer, occur.

Smoking Cessation

The practice encourages patients to stop smoking and will signpost you to the available clinics. Please ask at reception if you are considering stopping smoking.
