Antenatal and Postnatal Clinics

We provide a system of shared care with the doctors, midwives and the hospital consultants.

Mrs Sarah Fox, The Community Midwife, provides care and support to women during pregnancy and after the birth. Antenatal clinics run Health Centre. Patients can contact the surgery for information on new bookings. Women accessing the service can book via QR code which is on a big pink poster in the surgery or they can also google Leicester maternity which brings up 'register with a midwife' and they can complete the form.Would not include private physio

Asthma Clinics

We recommend that those people with asthma attend the surgery for an annual review. This is to ensure that you are on the most appropriate medication and to provide advice on how to best care for the condition as it affects you.

These appointments are with the Practice Nurse.

Cervical Smears

It is recommended that routine smear tests be carried out on women aged 25-49 every 3 years and women aged 50-64 every 5 years.

You will be sent a letter from the Health Authority by post telling you when this is due and inviting you to make an appointment for this to be carried out.

We can provide evening and weekend appointments at Hinckley Centre Surgery as well as weekday appointments at our Hinckley and Pine Close Sites.

Childhood Immunisations

Clinics held every Thursday 

The childhood vaccinations are now given in rapid succession at two, three and four months to protect against diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio and meningitis.

It is very important that your child has these vaccinations.

Please feel free to discuss any concerns you may have with the doctor or health visitor. 

Nasal spray flu vaccine Offers the best protection against flu. It is given as a spray squirted up each nostril. It's quick and painless. For some children the nasal spray is not suitable for medical reasons. Our team will review the medical information submitted before offering the flu vaccine injection.

The nasal vaccine contains traces of a highly processed form of porcine gelatine.

Diabetes

All our diabetic patients are offered regular reviews every 6 to 12 months with the doctor or the nurse.

Please telephone the surgery or ask at the reception desk for further information.
