Cervical Smears, Mammography & Well Person & NHS Health Screening

If appropriate you will be sent an invitation to attend for a cervical smear. The Mammography Screening service will invite you for a mammogram (usually once every 3 years for women in the appropriate age groups). The result of each of these screening investigations will be sent to you direct. From time to time we may also invite you for a well person & NHS Health check of blood pressure, cholesterol etc. But please do ask if you wish to be included.

Family Planning

All the doctors are trained in family planning.  The nurses can deal with the renewal of contraceptive pills or depo-provera injections.  Dr Doswell is able to provide a full contraceptive coil and implant service.  Please make an appointment to discuss your needs with them.

Non-NHS Services

Certain medicals, e.g. heavy goods licence application medicals, pre-employment and sports medicals, and some certificates, e.g. private sickness certificates and holiday cancellation insurance certificates, are not part of the National Health Service. We are able to provide these services as appropriate but will usually charge a fee. Please contact reception or see the notice in the Surgery for the scale of charges.
