A blood test usually involves the phlebotomist taking a blood sample from a blood vessel in your arm and the usual place for a sample is the inside of the elbow or wrist, where the veins are relatively close to the surface. Blood samples from children are most commonly taken from the back of the hand.

Women aged between 24 and 64 should have a cervical screening every 5 years to help prevent cervical cancer. The screening is quick and painless and can be done here in the practice.

If you are aged over 24 and have never had a smear test, or if it has been more than 3 to 5 years since your last screening, you should arrange an appointment with our Practice Nurse.

If a vaccine is given when a baby still has antibodies to the disease, the antibodies can stop the vaccine working. This is why routine childhood immunisations do not start until a baby is two months old, before the antibodies a baby gets from its mother have stopped working. This is also why it is important for parents to stick to the immunisation schedule, as a delay can leave a baby unprotected. A delay can increase the chance of adverse reactions to some vaccines, such as pertussis (whooping cough).

As your GP surgery, we play a significant role in managing your long-term condition.

We believe in working with you and specialists in the community to provide holistic, personal, and high-quality care. Long-term conditions or chronic diseases are conditions for which there is currently no cure, and that are managed with drugs and other treatments.

If you have a long term condition, you will be invited to make an appointment via text message or letter in the month before your birthday. This review will ensure a medication review can be completed. It is therefore very important that you attend this appointment.

The Wellbeing Team are here to support everyone – young families, young people and older people with many things that can affect our health and wellbeing. GPs often have patients visit them who are feeling stressed, socially isolated, lonely, have financial issues, housing difficulties, living with a long-term health condition, or are experiencing other social problems.

The Wellbeing Team is made up of trained and skilled practitioners in various roles. We have two social prescibers, a team of care co-ordinators, a digital care co-ordinator, a health and wellbeing coach, a mental health practitioner, a clinical pharmacist and a pharmacy technician.
