Health Checks
Upon registering at the surgery you will be asked to complete a new patient questionnaire. If you are on regular medication for a long term health problem we will ask you to come and see us at least once a year to check your treatment.
Patients with asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes will need a regular detailed check-up doing with one of the nurses.

Minor Illness Advice
Many simple health problems may not need to come to surgery. Colds, coughs, sore throats, tummy upsets and trivial rashes can often be treated at home. You may like to ask advice from your local pharmacist about treating your symptoms. Most pharmacies now have facilities for you to talk to the pharmacist in private.
The NHS walk-in centre on Broad Lane is open every day between 8 am and 10pm. The staff there will be able to advise you and treat a variety of ailments and injuries as well as provide general health advice and emergency contraception advice and treatment.
Additionally Call 111 can give telephone advice if you need it.
