Child health surveillance

All children are seen at six weeks by the doctor and at eight months by the health visitor for developmental assessment.

All children will be invited for a vision check at 4 years old.

You can self refer for physiotherapy – there is no need to see a doctor beforehand.  

Minor surgery

Simple skin lesions, skin cancers, moles, cysts and blemishes, as well as most joint injections, are dealt with routinely in the practice without the need to attend hospital and endure long waiting lists. We have a very well equipped treatment room where these services are carried out quickly and efficiently.

  • Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements (HGV, PSV etc.)
  • Insurance claim forms
  • Passport signing
  • Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
  • Private sick notes
  • Vaccination certificates
