• The Shine Centre, The Galleries Shopping Centre – Monday-Friday

Patients are invited annually for reviews relating to Diabetes, Ischaemic Heart Disease, Asthma, COPD and Kidney problems.

You should receive a letter at least every 12 months asking you to make an appointment with the Practice Nurse for your annual review. 

Please ensure that you have any bloods taken by the Phlebotomy service if necessary before you make your appointment.

Under the NHS Cervical Screening Programme, all women between the ages of 25 and 65 are regularly invited for a smear test. The system is automated; so long as you are registered with a GP you should receive a letter asking you to make an appointment.

As a result of research that evaluated the optimal frequency for cervical screening, women are now invited for their first test at 25. They’re then invited every three years until the age of 49, and every five years from 50 to 64.  From 65, only those who’ve had recent abnormal tests are offered another test. 

We would like to stress the importance of women attending for smear tests when called to do so.  They can pick up early changes and can help avoid cervical cancer.

Our Health Care Assistant does blood pressure checks and ECGs on Thursday between 12 noon-5pm and Fridays between 8.30am-1pm.

There are also services for smoking cessation advice and weight/diet advice. You will need to make a routine appointment with the nurse/healthcare assistant for these services.
