NHS vaccinations and when to have them - NHS (www.nhs.uk)

First immunisations for babies are discussed as part of their 6-8 week GP check. Your Health Visitor can also provide information about this check and baby immunisations.

Babies are first immunised at 8,12 and 16 weeks of age

MMR vaccinations are generally given between 12 and 15 months of age

Pre-school boosters are given after 3 and a half years of age

All Teenage Immunisations are undertaken at school by the School Nursing Team. If you need further information regarding this, please contact your child’s school who can put you in touch with the School Nurses.

Our practice nurses, in conjunction with the doctors provide a full range of contraceptive services in normal surgery and by appointment. Emergency contraception can also be obtained from the Walk-in-Centre.

We also offer appointments for fitting contraceptive implants, coils and giving contraceptive injections.

  • Phlebotomy Services 

We have a Phlebotomy Service – i.e. service for taking blood. Appointments are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings.

  • Teenage Health

We offer a discrete and confidential service for teenagers to discuss any health issues with either the doctor or practice nurse.

  • Minor Operations and Joint Injections

We endeavour to provide high quality care by experienced clinicians in the surgery to reduce the need for unnecessary hospital referrals and procedures which inevitably cost more than they would do in General Practice.

Currently we are offering some minor surgery and joint injections by Dr Samantha Clements and Paula Muir (Advanced Nurse Practitioner)

  • Long term condition reviews

You will be invited to make an appointment to review any long term conditions such as diabetes, asthma, COPD or heart disease.

Please book your appointment with a practice nurse if you feel you require a health check.
