Non-NHS Examinations

Medical examinations for certain purposes are not covered by the NHS. These need special appointments for up to half an hour and a fee is payable. This relates to matters such as cancellation of holiday, fitness to travel, medicals for driving, pre-employment check ups, etc.

Self Help Groups

Information regarding Self Help Groups is available on request from the practice manager.

Carers

We know that many of our patients are looking after someone at home who is elderly or has a long term illness or disability.

We are keen to make sure that you, the carers, are getting all the support you need. If you would like the practice to know that you are a carer please tell the receptionists so that we can put you on our carers register and give you further information.
