Contraception Services
We have dedicated coil and implant fitting clinics with our GPs. If you would like one of these fitted then please book a phone call to discuss this with an GP. If after this appointment you need to have a fitting you will be added to our waitlist and we will contact you as soon as a appointment is available.
Local pharmacies can now start patients on a contraceptive pill, do their annual review and issue continued prescriptions. Please contact your local pharmacy to find out more.
Cervical screening (Smear test)
Patients aged 25-49 years old with an cervix are eligible for cervical screening every 3 years.
Patients aged 50-64 years old with an cervix are eligible for cervical screening every 5 years.
We understand that there may be a number of reasons why patients do not attend for their cervical screening.
We can offer longer appointments and a call with our nurse to discuss the appointment or to answer any questions you have. You can also come in and see the nursing room and equipment before booking an appointment.
If you would like to discuss this or book a call with our nurse, please contact our reception team.
