Our practice nurses offer regular clinics for dressings and wound management, with several of the team having specialist qualifications in ’tissue viability’
We are also able to offer doppler testing to aide diagnosis of vascular problems that may need further intervention.
We offer ECGs and 24h ECGs (Holter monitors)
We have ‘point of care’ instant testing to quickly diagnose conditions such as deep vein thrombosis or cardiac concerns, allowing us to provide prompt treatment and advice.
Going away and need vaccinations? We can help!
Our nurses can provide travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations. Please arrange an appointment for a travel consultation at least 6-8 weeks before departure if possible. Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks.
All of these are monitored by our clinical staff and you will be recalled into a clinic on an annual basis during the month of your birth, in order to be assessed and reviewed.
Minor Injuries
Where possible we may also be able to offer treatment for acute minor injuries, such as foreign body removal, cuts & lacerations, small animal bites, suturing/stitches, scalds/burns.
Please note at times of increased demand, you may be directed to our local Minor Injuries department in Evesham.
We have several trained practice nurses and GPs who are able to offer ear microsuction for ear wax removal.
We have an Advanced Nurse Practitioner who has taken additional qualifications in Diabetes, who works closely with our practice nurse team to provide the most up to date care for those patients with diabetes. This includes initiation of injectable medications such as insulins, as well as oral diabetic medication & their monitoring.
All new diabetic patients are given a 40min appointment to ensure they have a personalised treatment plan, and they will be invited for regular reviews at 3/6/12 month intervals according to their needs.
We are keen to promote family planning and can offer advice and support on the most effective available methods.
We have several GPs qualified in the fitting of contraceptive implants and coils, providing a practice based and more convenient location for our patients.
Our Practice Nurse team are also able to administer longer-acting contraceptives such as depo injections, as well as give advice about oral medicines such as contraceptive pills.
We also assess and fit pessaries for the management of prolapse
We offer a comprehensive childhood vaccination programme. Childhood vaccinations can be booked with our experienced practice nurse team. Parents/Guardians will usually be contacted by letter when their vaccinations are due.
We offer double appointments for baby and post-natal checks with a GP and a practice nurse. Although the baby check can take place at 6 weeks, we often try and time this with first vaccinations (which occur at 8 weeks) to avoid families having to come to multiple appointments. Of course if you have any problems prior to this, we would be happy to see you earlier.
We are also fortunate that our local Health Visitors also hold their clinics at the surgery.
