Cervical Smears

All women patients are entitled to have regular examination, including a cervical smear test. We offer this to all female patients as a routine three-yearly test, or more frequently if indicated.

The cervical smear test is undertaken by our female practice nurses by appointment.

Diabetes, Asthma, COPD and Heart Monitoring

These checks are offered to all relevant patients to monitor, control and manage their condition. Regular screening for these health conditions is undertaken by our practice nurses. Some clinics are combined with your doctor to monitor and manage. Health checks are encouraged and are by appointment only; they usually take between 10-20 minutes of your time.

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

If you have been advised by the surgery to submit a COPD assessment, please complete our COPD Assessment form.

Patients Suffering Drug Misuse

Patients are referred to this clinic via the drug dependence unit. If you need any advice or help with drug dependence issues please book in for a routine appointment with a doctor to discuss further.

We offer an in house counselling service which the GP can refer you to.

Vaccination and Immunisation (Including most Travel Vaccinations)

Childhood immunisations can be arranged by contacting us and we can find a mutual time to do these very important immunisations. Advice on which vaccinations you may need for your holiday and travel abroad is available from the practice nurses by appointment or over the phone. Please remember that certain vaccinations may need to be given over a period of weeks.

If you are travelling abroad, please make sure you complete our Travel Risk Assessment form in plenty of time to arrange any vaccinations that may be necessary.

We offer a very competitive price for all travel vaccinations and some are in fact free of charge.

Flu Vaccinations and Pneumococcal Pneumonia Vaccinations

We offer an annual flu vaccination and pneumococcal pneumonia vaccination programme to all at risk groups of patients commencing in mid October. Advice is available from practice nurses, doctors and at reception.

Surgical Operations

We perform minor surgical operations on these premises. The operations are only by appointment after a consultation with a GP within the practice. The practice nurse will advise patients on pre and post-operation management.

Wound Services

Any wounds needing immediate attention will be directed straight away to either the doctor or nurse who will assess if they are suitable for this service or if they need to be seen at the hospital. If it is treated here, the wound will either be steri-stripped, glued or stitched as deemed necessary.

Antenatal Care and Midwives

All doctors provide both antenatal and postnatal care together with the community midwife. Please make an appointment to see the midwife between 6-10 weeks.

These appointments are for 20-40 minutes. If you require to see the doctor at any time during your pregnancy please ask each time for a double appointment at reception.

The midwives are now based in one hub in Hove.
