All women aged 25-64 are invited for cervical screening.  By having regular smears any changes that may occur in the cervix may be picked up early before they become cancerous.  Our practice nurses mainly carry out the smear tests.

We have clinics for people who have experienced heart disease or stroke where you will regularly have your blood pressure and cholesterol checked, your medication reviewed and will be advised on lifestyle changes to help you try to prevent further illness.

As part of the NHS breast screening programme, all women aged between 50 and 70 will be called for mammography (x-ray of breasts) every 3 years.

The practice nurse can see you regularly to advise on inhaler technique, self monitoring of asthma, medication changes when necessary and general lifestyle improvements.

If you are pregnant, ask at reception to book with the midwife.  She will monitor you through your pregnancy to detect any problems and be able to advise you and answer any questions you may have about pregnancy and childbirth.
