Short profile:

If you are over 40 and not had your blood pressure checked in last five years book in to see Helen Ford, our Health Care Assistant.

Alternatively, we have a blood pressure machine in the waiting room, so if you would like to come into the surgery and take your own blood pressure, a printout will be provided by the machine and you can leave this at the desk for the nurses to check.

Chlamydia Urine Tests are available for patients ages between 15 - 24 years. Please ask at reception.

Please do not pass urine for an hour before the test, tests can be taken at the surgery.

Certain services such as insurance forms, passport applications, private notes, insurance or pre-employment medicals and travel cancellation certificates are not covered by the NHS. Charges will be made to the individual or company involved.

Detailed description:

We offer an annual appointment to patients with established heart disease.

The purpose of this clinic is to support you in managing your heart condition and to ensure that the quality of your health remains at its best. It has been proven that correct management of people with cardiovascular disease will reduce the risks of death, heart attacks and admission to hospital.

At the clinic we will review risk factors, discuss lifestyle changes, review medications and arm you with the knowledge you need to manage your condition.

Prior to your appointment you will need to have a blood test. This will mean that your cholesterol and other blood tests will be available for discussion at the clinic.

The cardiac monitoring clinic also sees patients who have a high risk of heart disease, but have not actually had a heart attack. They do this through a once off appointment in the clinic and then with support via the practice nursing clinic with any ongoing lifestyle issues. To access this clinic you need to be referred by your GP or practice nurse.
