Asthma & Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Patients who have either been diagnosed with either of these will routinely be offered appointments with one of the nurses. The doctor may also refer you for spirometry to one of the nurses. This is a specialised piece of equipment to measure your breathing and is useful to help the doctor in diagnosing your problem.

Child Health

Child Health Surveillance: routine baby/developmental checks, in particular the 6-8 week check, carried out by Dr Chishick. If you have a new baby you will automatically be offered an appointment for your baby when he or she is between 6 and 8 weeks. It is very important you bring your baby to this appointment. 

REMEMBER to bring your childs red book to this appointment. 

Childhood Immunisations: these are carried out by our nurses. You will receive automatic invitations when your child’s immunisations are due.

REMEMBER to bring your childs red book to your appointments. Please make sure you contact us if you are unable to keep the appointment.

Family Planning

A full range of contraceptive services are offered by the doctors in their routine surgeries. If, having discussed your options with a doctor, you decide to have a coil fitted, an appointment will be made for you at a suitable time with the doctor.

If you wish to have a Long Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) implant or a coil, the appointment with be with Dr Chishick  who is qualified to insert and remove these.

Cervical Smears

Cervical Smears

These are carried out by our Practice nurses. Under 25 - upto 6 months before you turn 25. Routine smears are advised on a 3 yearly basis for women between the ages of 25 – 49, and 5 yearly from the ages of 50 -64. 

From September, NHS plans to start sending results from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme, utilising the NHS App.

In September, those who have a negative test result will be notified of this by an NHS App message. It will also appear as an NHS App notification. If the NHS App message isn’t read within 72 hours, a letter will be sent as a failsafe.

Abnormal result letters will continue for the time being to be delivered by post.

This change follows the successful rollout of digital invitations and reminders in June 2025, where since the launch, 9 out of every 10 invitations are being sent digitally, with the remainder being sent by post.
