Some of the Services available:

Prevention of illness is our aim and we are able to offer the following services:

Healthy people under the age of 65 may be at increased risk of coronary artery disease (heart attacks) and strokes in later life. We invite patients to have a creening assessment with our practice nurse every three years on an appointment basis. We strongly urge this for patients who have a relative who was affected by this sort of problem under the age of 60. The screening consists of blood pressure, weight and urine measurements, blood tests if appropriate, a lifestyle questionairre and advice if necessary.

The practice has regular clinics to monitor patients with diabetes and asthma.

There are regular monthly clinics held by a dietician.

All the doctors are keenly involved in maternity services and each runs an antenatal clinic. Most confinements are in Arrowe Park Hospital, either in the consultant unit or remaining under care in the GP Unit. If you are keen to have a home confinement, then consideration will be given to this, although we do not recommend this course of management.

We are able to provide a comprehensive range of minor surgery in the practice which saves a long wait for the procedure performed at hospital.

A full range of contraceptive services is provided and can be obtained by making an appointment during normal surgery hours or in the appropriate during normal surgery hours or in the appropriate clinic. We recommend regular cervical smears which can be arranged by appointment.
