In addition to providing general
medical services to our patients the practice can also offer:
- Minor surgery by appointment
- A health check for those patients between the ages of 16 years and 75 years
attending the surgery who have not had a consultation within three years. During
the course of that consultation, we will answer any enquiries and undertake such
examinations as appear to be appropriate in the circumstances.
- A health check for patients aged 75 years and over attending the surgery
who have not had a consultation within 12 months. During the course of that consultation,
we will answer any enquiries and undertake such examinations as appear to be

consultation within the last 12 months, and it is unreasonable or inappropriate
due to the patient's medical condition for the patient to attend the surgery.
