Test Results
We receive the results of pathology tests, x-rays and other correspondence from hospital department late in the morning. These then have to be checked by a doctor. As different tests take differing times to process, your doctor will give you an indication of when your results will be available which, is no more than 10 days. If you are asked to telephone the surgery for your results please do so between 12 – 1 pm. You should always check your results
Minor Surgery
We offer a range of minor surgical procedures at the surgery. You should consult a Doctor about any moles, lumps or bumps that concern you, as these may be suitable for removal at the surgery.
Travel Vaccinations
Our Nurses offer a full advisory service for those travelling abroad. Please book in with the Nurses eight weeks before you are due to travel.
Flu Vaccination
This is recommended for everyone over 65 years of age and for patients with chronic medical conditions such as, heart disease, diabetes, and chest or kidney problems.
Cervical Smears
We recommend that all our female patients should have a smear. Every three years from age 25 -49. Every five years from age 49 – 65. The purpose of this test is to prevent cancer of the cervix. The Practice Nurses carry out this procedure. Please make an appointment at the Reception preferably.
Specialist and Hospital Care
If a GP or another member of our health care team believes you need hospital treatment or specialist care elsewhere, they will ask you where you would like to go. The doctor will then refer you to the consultant of your choice or the consultant with the shortest waiting list. The practice will then be able to book you appointment electronically from the surgery.
