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.

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.
