These clinics are designed to manage a number of clinical conditions such as Heart Disease, Diabetes, Asthma, C.O.P.D. and Womens Health.

Run by the practice nurses, under supervision of the doctor. Please ask at reception for further information or to make an appointment.

NHS Health Check 

The NHS Health Check is a health check-up for adults in England aged 40 to 74. It’s designed to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia. As we get older, we have a higher risk of developing one of these conditions. An NHS Health Check helps find ways to lower this risk. If you would like to take advantage of this free service please contact us and make an appointment.
