Cervical Smear Tests
Routine cervical smear tests are available every 5 years for women aged 25 to 64. If you are 65 and over you will be invited if a recent test was abnormal. General lifestyle and health checks including self-breast examination teaching can be offered at the same time.
If you're a trans man or non-binary and have a cervix, how you're invited depends on how you are registered at the practice. If you're registered as female you'll automatically be invited. If you're registered as anything other than female you may not get invited automatically but can still book an appointment, please contact us and ask.
If you're a trans woman or are non-binary and do not have a cervix you do not need to have cervical screening.

Physiotherapist
We have a First Contact Physiotherapist service every Wednesday afternoon and all day Friday. You can see the physiotherapist for a first contact assessment instead of seeing a doctor. The physiotherapist can assess many physical injuries and pains. Appointments are 20 minutes long. This new service has proved to be very popular. These sessions are for assessment and are not "hands on" or manipulation treatment. The Physiotherapist will refer you to the MSK service if you need further investigations or treatment.
Regular Health Checks
We would like all our patients with no known major health conditions to have a free check-up every five years.
Well Person Check
This health promotion service is designed to give information and advice over healthier lifestyles. In addition, screening is performed to pick up the four main risk factors for heart disease: high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and a high cholesterol level. Our Nursing Associate can carry out these checks and provide healthy lifestyle advice.
Minor Surgery Clinic
The practice no longer offers Minor Surgery or Joint Injections. You can be referred for these services by the GP once you have been reviewed.
Cryotherapy is available which is offered by Dr Rahul Shah.
