Surgery clinics

We offer a range of clinics and services at the surgery. There are some tasks you can do, such as health reviews, using our online forms.

Amongst our many services we offer:

Midwife

  • Wednesdays, 9am to 1pm at Wotton
  • Thursdays, 9am to 1pm at Berkeley
  • Tuesday, 9am to 1pm at Frampton

Full pregnancy care is available at the surgery. In nearly all cases the doctors and midwife will carry out the majority of your antenatal care in the practice with just two or three visits to the hospital clinic.

Asthma

Asthmatic patients are encouraged to attend this clinic at least annually to monitor their condition and to ensure compliance and understanding of their medication.

If you have been advised by the surgery to submit an annual review of your asthma symptoms, please complete our asthma review form.

Child health and immunisations

  • Tuesdays, 9am to midday at Wotton
  • Tuesdays, 1pm to 4pm at Berkeley

Regular checks on development and immunisations for under fives are carried out by the doctor, health visitor and practice nurse. It is very important that your children are vaccinated against childhood diseases.

Diabetes

  • Tuesdays 9am to midday

Diabetic patients should attend this clinic on a regular basis. If you require information regarding your glucose tolerance test, you can view our information leaflet (PDF).

Family planning

All the doctors offer contraceptive advice at routine appointments. We also offer a coil fitting service and emergency contraception service.

If you have been advised by the surgery to submit a contraceptive pill review, please complete our contraceptive pill review form.

Cervical smears

We offer all women between the ages of 25 and 65 the opportunity to have a cervical smear test every 3 to 5 years to help detect any cell changes in the cervix which could possibly develop into cancer.

Minor surgery

To avoid having to attend hospital, we are pleased to be able to offer an in-house minor surgery service for procedures such as in-growing toenails, removal of lumps and bumps, joint injections, gynaecology procedures such as coil fittings, and endometrial biopsies.

NHS health check

Free nurse run health check for those aged 40 to 75. Please read our health check leaflet (PDF).

Phlebotomy

The phlebotomist is available, by appointment only, to take blood samples as requested by the doctors and nurses.

If you have been asked to have a fasting blood test (eg fasting cholesterol, fasting blood sugar) please ensure that you fast from 10pm the previous evening. However, water may be consumed as required.

Smoking cessation

Please make an appointment with one of our three practice nurses who are all trained in smoking cessation.

Travel vaccinations
