Antenatal Clinic
Weekly clinics are held on Tuesdays 1.00-2.30pm by the midwife. Antenatal appointments with the doctor are held during normal surgery hours.

Asthma / COPD Clinic
Asthma/COPD patients are seen by our asthma nurse for review in any of the routine surgery sessions.

The check-up includes an initial assessment, spirometry as required, education, monitoring as required, checking inhaler technique and self-management.

Counselling
Our counsellor works regularly with us, holding two weekly sessions. If you feel you are in need of counselling for any personal problems, you should discuss this with your doctor who will refer you to the counsellor if appropriate.

Diabetic Clinic
The diabetic clinic is held on three Wednesdays every month, 1.30-4.00pm. Patients are invited to attend every 6-12 months for review. They are seen by a doctor and/or nurse.
