We offer a range of clinics and services including those below. For more information, please visit our Health Review and Assessment Clinic.

Clinics

Blood Tests

Clinics run every day with our healthcare assistants. We make sure patients who have to fast overnight for their blood tests are seen early.

Blood tests should be authorised by a clinician. If your blood test is requested by a hospital consultant or children under the age of 6, please book online: www.royalsurrey.nhs.uk/blood-tests.

For very young children your doctor will prescribe a local anaesthetic cream to put on an hour before the test, to numb the skin.

When your GP refers you for one of these tests, you will need to contact one of the x-ray departments below to book your appointment:

Leg Ulcer and Wound Care Clinics

This clinic is run by our highly skilled practice nurses. District nurses attend our housebound patients, but this will require a GP referral first.

Minor Surgery

Several of the GPs offer minor surgery and joint injection procedures. If you need a minor surgery procedure and it is appropriate to be done in primary care, we will arrange it for you in house if at all possible.

Mother and Baby

The health visitors run a drop-in clinic for advice and help with your baby. For availability please call the health visitors directly on 01883 340922.

This clinic is currently at Milford Hospital.

Suture Removal

Our practice nurses undertake post-operative suture and clip removals for patients who are up and about. If you are housebound, the hospital will refer you to the district nurses, who will be able to visit you at home.

Vaccinations

Childhood immunisations, routine and travel vaccinations for all ages are available during surgery times, by appointment with our practice nurses.

Flu clinics start in September. At risk patients are also offered the pneumonia jab.

Patients eligible for immunisations under national catch-up campaigns will be contacted directly by the surgery.

Warfarin (INR) Clinic

Our practice nurses are trained to monitor patients on warfarin and will also start some new patients on it. Our in-house kit means you can have a finger-prick blood test analysed on the spot. You will leave your appointment with a print-out of your dosage regime and an appointment to return for the next test.

Annual Reviews

Patients who have a long term condition should visit the Health Review and Assessment Clinic for online health reviews and assessment forms.

Asthma and COPD

If you have been advised by the surgery to submit an annual review of your asthma symptoms please complete our online Asthma Review form.

If you have been advised by the surgery to submit a COPD assessment please complete our online COPD Assessment form.

Our specialist respiratory nurses help to diagnose and monitor patients and they work closely with the doctors to optimise treatment plans for each individual patient. Every patient with asthma or COPD is invited for an annual review so we can monitor your progress and make sure you are on the most up-to-date regime.

Bowel Cancer Screening

The NHS bowel cancer screening programme offers screening every two years to all men and women aged 60 to 74. People over 74 can request a screening kit by calling the freephone helpline on 0800 707 6060.

Patients over 65 will be invited if they have not been screened since age 50 or have had recent abnormal tests. Cervical screening tests are carried out by the practice nurses.

Diabetic Clinic

Dr Mayer is our lead GP for diabetes and he runs the diabetic clinic with our diabetic nurses. The team work closely with the other doctors in the practice, the dietitian and our hospital diabetes colleagues.

All diabetic patients should have an annual diabetic retinopathy screen, foot check, blood tests, urine test, medication review and advice on diet and lifestyle.

Hypertension Clinic

Our healthcare assistants monitor patients who have straightforward hypertension.

They work with the doctors and nurses to help make the diagnosis of hypertension, monitor control, and ensure routine blood, urine and ECG tests are up to date. We now carry out 24-hour blood pressure monitoring to aid in the diagnosis of high blood pressure.
