Clinics & Services

Cervical Screening - Is carried out by our practice nurses and some of the doctors. A reminder system is in operation where all female patients between the age 25 to age 50 will be automatically invited every three years and female patients age 50 to until you turn 65 will be automatically invited every five years.  Women on non-routine screening will be invited until you turn 71.  Any patient wishing to ‘opt-out’ should contact the surgery. Patients should make an appointment when they receive the reminder, letting the member of staff know it is for a cervical smear.

Contraceptive Services - a contraceptive service is available, including the fitting of coils and implants.
