Antenatal Clinic 

If you think you might be pregnant we suggest you either do a home pregnancy test or ask us to arrange one for you. Once confirmed, please make an appointment with the midwife about 6 weeks from your last period. Your care will be managed by our midwife, with support from your doctor as necessary.

Margaret Grainger, our midwife, can be contacted directly via reception.

Postnatal Checks

You will be seen after the birth of your baby by the midwife after which the health visitor will make an appointment to visit you. The health visitor will remind you to make a post-natal review appointment with your GP at 6 weeks.

Baby And Child Immunisation Clinic

You will be notified when your child is due for immunisation or assessment. Please book an appointment through reception.

Women’s Health

Cervical Smear Tests

Our practice nurses are qualified to perform smear tests which can be arranged by appointment. Women aged between 25 and 49 should have a test every three years and women aged 50+ every five years thereafter. You will be notified when your smear test is due. If, after three notification letters and a doctor’s letter, a patient fails to attend for a smear, the responsibility for the smear test will rest with that patient.

Family Planning

A full range of contraceptive services is provided by this practice. Drs Delhanty and Zoltonos are qualified to fit coils and/or contraceptive implants.

Please see your doctor if you wish to start or discuss your contraception.

Routine pill checks should be made with the practice nurse.

If you have been advised by the surgery to submit a contraceptive pill review please use our online form.

Adult Health

Asthma and COPD Clinic

Sisters Hewitt-Stubbs and Dhany are responsible for the asthma and COPD checks. We aim to give our asthma patients a routine review check on an annual basis. If you have been advised by the surgery to submit an annual review of your asthma symptoms or COPD, please use our online forms which you can access through the online Health Review and Assessment Clinic. Appointments can be made after discussion with your doctor.

Diabetic Clinic

Sister Emmett runs the diabetic clinic. This is for all diabetics who we ask to attend the clinic on an annual basis. You will need a diabetic blood test two weeks before your appointment and you should bring an early morning urine sample to the clinic. Insulin dependent diabetics who are cared for by the hospital diabetic team will still need an annual review here at the surgery. If you have a routine query about your diabetes, please contact Sister Emmett initially.

Immunisations are available by appointment with the practice nurse. We recommend polio booster every 10 years and tetanus booster every 10 years. If you have received five doses you are likely to have lifelong immunity and booster doses are only required on injury if more than 10 years have elapsed since the last dose.
