Clinics
Ante Natal Care
All the doctors see antenatal patients by appointment. Our midwives also hold their own clinics on a Thursday afternoon.
Child Health Surveillance
This is undertaken at regular intervals on all children from birth to school age.
Assessments are made by a doctor and/or Health Visitor in the surgery, or at home, and allow an opportunity to discuss other problems eg sleeping, feeding and child health worries.
Clinics are held weekly each Friday by appointment between 10:00 am and 11:30 am.
Diabetic Clinic
All patients with diabetes are invited by appointment to attend this clinic on a regular basis as well as, or instead of, the hospital clinic. A blood test will be required 7-10 days prior to your appointment.
Retinal Photography
Retinal photography in a visiting mobile unit is arranged annually for all patients with diabetes not attending the eye clinic.
Childhood Immunisations
Clinics are held fortnightly on a Thursday morning by appointment.
These start at two months of age. The Area Health Authority computer will usually forward you a reminder as to when your child requires to be seen in the clinic. If you do not receive a reminder, or are in any way concerned, please contact us for advice.
