We run a range of clinics. For an appointment or further details, please call us on 01494 675303.
Antenatal Appointments
This service is run by the midwives. If you become pregnant, you will be offered a ‘booking appointment’ at your home when the midwife will ask you a few questions and carry out some general health checks.
You will be seen regularly throughout your pregnancy either here at the practice or at the local hospital, or both.

Travel Clinic
Pick up a form at reception for each person travelling and fill it in. Drop it back to reception and one of the Practice Nurses will contact you within ten working days via e-mail to advise you on recommended vaccinations and malaria advice if required.
If it is less than six weeks before you travel then we can only provide a list of your current vaccinations. We strongly advise that you visit an alternative Travel Clinic for advice and vaccinations.
We source all our travel advice from the following website and we recommend that you refer to this site which contains lots of helpful advice and information regarding your trip. It will also provide information on which vaccinations you may need: http://www.travelhealthpro.org.uk
