Maternity Care
During your pregnancy you will be seen two or three times in the hospital
antenatal clinic. Please bring a small sample of urine to each antenatal and postnatal
clinic. Your first antenatal appointment will be with the doctor. After that, until your baby is born, you will be seen by either
the midwife or the doctor. You will also have an opportunity to meet the health
visitor to discuss any problems regarding your pregnancy.
Out-Reach Clinics
(Hospital Consultants)
The practice has arranged for various
hospital consultants to undertake out-reach clinics within the practice surgeries
for a variety of specialist care. These are clinics that would normally require
patients to attend outpatient appointments at hospital. The clinics speed up waiting
and treatment times for our patients who need referring for consultant care and
are far more convenient for patients to attend.
The practice runs a well established vasectomy clinic including counselling and operating for NHS and non-NHS patients
Child Health Surveillance Clinic
Every Friday 9.30 - 10.30am a clinic is held at City Way. Patients are booked in with the doctor.
Phlebotomy Clinic
This clinic is for our patients and non registered patients. They are run by our health care assistants, by appointment only, Monday to Friday mornings.
Physiotherapy
sessions
Arranged
by referral from your GP.
Influenza and Pneumonia Immunisation
Seafarers' Medicals
Non-NHS
Examinations
We conduct medical examinations and issue certification
for special purposes, eg pre-employment and elderly drivers, etc. Please ask the receptionist
when making an appointment. A fee will be payable either by the patient, or,
sometimes in the case of an insurance company, by the company concerned. The
receptionist will confirm the fee.
Dr Colbert carries out Seafarers' medicals.
Patients Aged Between 16-74
If you are aged between 16-74 and you have not been seen by a GP for three years, you may wish to request a consultation.
Patients Aged 75
And Over
If you are aged 75 or over, you will
be offered a yearly health check. This will normally be carried out by the practice
nurse in the surgery.

• Initial vasectomy consultation
• Vasectomy procedure
• All vasectomy aftercare
