In addition to GP consultations the practice offers a wide range of clinics and healthcare services:
Emergency Contraception
This is provided by all of the doctors and nurses. This is a fully confidential service and the reception staff will make an urgent appointment if you require this. Emergency contraception is also available directly from the local pharmacies.
Family Planning
We hold a family planning clinic on a fortnightly basis at both surgeries; at Orchard Surgery on a Tuesday afternoon and at Endon Surgery on a Friday morning. Counselling and advice, however, are given on all aspects by all of the doctors. This includes the fitting of coils, injections, etc. This service is fully confidential.
Lifestyle Checkups
We are currently sending out letters to patients aged between 40 and 74 years of age offering a Lifestyle check up at the surgery. If you receive one of these letter please contact reception to book your appointment.
Minor Surgery
We carry out minor surgical procedures at both surgeries by appointment only. These include joint injections, removal of cysts, simple lumps, etc.
Smoking Cessation
We now hold smoking cessation clinics at the Orchard Surgery on a Monday and Friday mornings. Please ask at reception if you wish to attend one of these clinics. You will then be contacted with an appointment to attend.
