Diabetic ClinicAll eligible patients are invited to attend annually. In between clinic appointments, most patients attend normal surgery appointments, which are arranged individually. If you have diabetes and have recently joined the Practice, please make an appointment with Dr Hutchinson to arrange your package of care.
Antenatal And Postnatal CareAll the Doctors provide antenatal and postnatal care. Please make an appointment if you are pregnant or require pre-conception advice. If pregnant, you will be referred to the Midwife who runs an afternoon antenatal clinic. The Doctors will see you in normal surgery times for antenatal appointments.
Family Planning And Well WomanAll Doctors and Practice Nurses are available for advice on family planning, the menopause, HRT and all aspects of women's health.
Minor SurgeryMinor operations are provided by the Doctors at the Practice so you may not have to go to hospital for some small operations. Just make a routine appointment with the Doctor who will advise you if this is possible.
Over 75 Years Of AgeWe would like you stay as fit and healthy as possible, so if you have not had a check-up in the last three years, please telephone to make an appointment for one with the Practice Nurse.

Please note, backpackers or anyone travelling for one month or more needs a double appointment. There may be a charge for some vaccinations.MedicalsWe also undertake insurance and pre-employment medicals, as well as medicals for certain jobs, sports, etc. Please ask at reception.
