Interpreting
Services
If an interpreter is needed
for your consultation with the doctor or nurse, please ask reception and this
will be arranged for you. Please note that we are dependent on a third party to
arrange an interpreter for you and can therefore not guarantee when the appropriate
interpreter/appointment will be available.
Access
to Medical Records
It is your right as an NHS
patient to have access to your medical records. If you wish to view your records,
please contact the surgery and an appointment will be made for you to come in
and do so. Please see our policy on the disclosure of
health records.
Other
Services
Cervical Smears
These detect any early signs of pre-cancer in the neck of the womb. They are recommended
for all women up to the age of 65 who have been sexually active. They are done,
preferably, two weeks before your period. Please arrange this with the practice
nurse.
Mammography
Breast scans are offered to all women between the ages of 50 and 65. You will
receive an invitation by post, automatically.
Flu Immunisations
Flu immunisations are given in the first week of October. Please book early to
ensure that you receive your flu vaccination, as we stock only a limited supply.
Overseas Travel
A comprehensive advice and immunisation service is available through the practice
nurse.
Non-NHS Medical Examinations and Reports
All the doctors carry out medical examinations, eg for life insurance, sports,
HGV, taxi and pre-employment medicals. These are by appointment. There is a fee
payable for some of the examinations and for some medical reports, eg BUPA, PPP,
holiday cancellations etc. Please ask at reception for details of fees.
