Home Visits
Patients are asked to telephone before 10.00am if a visit is required that day. Emergency, visits only will be arranged after that time. Please give the receptionist as much information; as possible to enable the doctor to allocate priority to home visits. Please attend the surgery if at all possible.

Health Promotion
We offer advice and practical help to those patients who want to improve or maintain their health. Our nurses have specific training in areas such as asthma, diabetes, smoking, alcohol and heart disease prevention. Please ask the nurse for details. We encourage all our patients to share responsibility for their health, both in preventing disease and in treating existing diseases. Most of the more serious diseases can be prevented by a healthy lifestyle and without the need for drugs. Please feel free to discuss general health and your lifestyle and ask for advice.

Chaperone
If you feel that you would like a chaperone present at a consultation during a procedure, please let the GP/nurse know. 

Child Surveillance
We offer this service to children who are registered at the practice. Your child is offered developmental checks at intervals before school age. The health visitor may carry out some of these checks, often at home. This will enable you to discuss any problems and ask any questions concerning your child's immunisations, development and behaviour.
