We aim to offer services which are young people friendly. We welcome young people and aim to put them at ease when they come to the practice.
We have compiled some useful information which young people have told us is important to them when it comes to their health.
We have also provided information on your rights as a young person. Please click here
40 Plus Health Checks
Everyone aged 40-74 who does not have a pre-existing heart condition is eligible for a health check once every five years. It is a free check-up of your overall health. It can tell you whether you’re at higher risk of getting certain health problems, such as:
During the check-up you’ll discuss how to reduce your risk of these conditions.
If you think you are eligible but have not been invited, please get in touch with us to request an appointment.

Annual health check Learning Disability and Autism
All patients aged 14 years and over with a learning disability and/or autism are eligible for an annual health check. An annual health check can help you stay well by talking to a doctor or nurse about your health and finding any problems early, so they can be sorted out.
You do not have to be ill to have a health check – in fact, most people have their annual health check when they are feeling well.
If you have a learning disability or care for somebody who does, make sure we are aware of this because not everyone may be on the practice’s Learning Disability register. You can do this by telling our reception team, doctor or nurse.
Once on the register you will receive an invite each year to attend an appointment.

Carers health checks
The carers health check is the same as the NHS Health Check but is about looking after you as a Carer. It will focus on your own health and wellbeing and whether there are any areas you need support with. It is a chance to talk about your concerns and hopes for the future. The check covers the questions which Carers have told us are important.
Please get in touch to book your appointment.
You may be referred to this clinic after seeing a doctor with the practice for minor procedures.
These clinics are by appointment with our practice nurses. Please ensure that you allow enough time to get an appointment and to receive your vaccination before travelling.
Please also note that some vaccinations are not covered by the NHS and the costs will need to be met by the patient. Currently these are: Rabies, Japanese Encephalitis, Yellow Fever (given at designated centres only).
These clinics are by appointment usually starting in September.
It is recommended that most women have routine smear tests from 25 until they reach the age of 65. You will be notified by post when your smear is due. If you do not receive an appointment or you have concerns please contact us.
You will be notified by the Contractor Services Agency when your result is available. Please contact the surgery to be given your result. If you have any queries then please ask to speak to one of our Practice Nurses who will try to help.
By appointment only. If you have missed an appointment please contact our reception staff to arrange another suitable time.
Your appointment will be with the doctor approximately 6-8 weeks after the birth of your baby. This clinic is held on Wednesday afternoons and your baby will have their 6-8 week check at the same time.
By appointment, the Antenatal Clinic is held on Tuesday afternoon between 13.30 and 15.30. The midwife will see you throughout your pregnancy for your Antenatal care.
If the doctor thinks you require referral to hospital or other specialist service for further advice or treatment the doctor will discuss this with you. The doctor may refer you using the current Choose and Book system.
This will enable you to make your own appointment at a time and date and place that best suits you.
If you are unsure how the system works, please ask a member of the admin team, who will be happy to assist. Please remember to cancel this appointment if you no longer need to attend.
