Maternity care, postnatal care
Ladies are requested to make a appointment with the midwife when they first discover they are pregnant, this can be done using the online booking form found here. The midwife will need to know the date the last period started and will advise on the next steps.
Travel vaccinations
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. Please fill in our online travel risk assessment form prior to your appointment with the practice nurse, so that the nurse can give you up to date advice regarding you travel.
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible, at least 10 weeks before you travel, as these vaccines are not kept in stock and have to be ordered.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

Regular reviews help to ensure that medication is appropriate and any change in asthma health is detected early on. The practice nurse taking the clinic has specialist training in asthma management.
If your symptoms are deteriorating or you are having any concerns please book an appointment with our nurse.
