Blood Pressure
Routine Blood Pressure checks by appointment only with a Healthcare Assistant or Practice Nurse.
Blood Tests
Blood tests are available by appointment only either with a Healthcare Assistant or Phlebotomist.
If you need a blood test and can’t attend the surgery during routine opening times you may be interested in a phlebotomy service that is provided at various Practices in the area. This service is also able to offer blood test appointments for children over the age of 2 years.
Cervical Cytology (Smears)
All routine cervical smears are undertaken by our Practice Nurses. National guidelines state that routine smears should commence at age 25 and continue at 3 yearly intervals up to the age of 50. After the age of 50, guidelines state that the interval should be 5 years.
Book a clinic appointment with any of our nurses at the Practice or ask about availability in the Extended Hours clinics held on evenings and weekends.
