We offer a range of clinics and services at the surgery. There are some tasks you can do, such as health reviews, using our online forms.
Asthma
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.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Patients with emphysema and chronic bronchitis are monitored every year by the use of spirometry, which helps in determining the best treatment.
