The vaccination is available in late autumn; please contact reception to book an appointment.
Minor Illness Clinic
Sister Lorraine Davies can deal with a number of conditions in her Minor Illness Clinic, to save you having to see a Doctor. Information on what Sister Lorraine can treat in the Minor Illness Clinic is available at the Practice. It includes sore throat/swollen glands, earache, sore eyes/styes, infected ingrowing toenails, cuts and bruises, skin infections, diarrhoea and vomiting, haemorrhoids, urine infections.
Ear Syringing
The Practice offers ear-syringing to patients registered with the Practice. You will need to put ear-drops in for at least five days prior to the appointment. Ear syringing is not a priority treatment, so you may have to wait for an appointment. The Practice does not carry out ear-syringing for patients who are only with us temporarily.
