Clinics

You will be routinely invited for an annual check-up during your birthday month with reviews being done more frequently if you are having difficulty controlling your symptoms. The nurses will review and change treatment as required in consultation with your doctor. They also provide experienced advice on inhaler technique and self-management. If you still smoke, we can refer you to the smoking cessation service which offers appointments within the surgery. We are also able to refer you to the pulmonary rehabilitation service who provide excellent advice on appropriate exercise, diet and living well with your condition.

If you have COPD and have not seen our nurses in the clinic, then please make an appointment.

If you are an adult with Asthma which you feel is well-controlled, you will be offered the option to complete a self-assessment questionnaire, which our nurse can review first.

Women aged between 25 and 64 should have a cervical screening every 3 to 5 years to help prevent cervical cancer. The screening is quick and painless and can be done here in the practice.

If you are aged over 25 and have never had a smear test, or if it has been more than 3 to 5 years since your last screening, you should arrange an appointment with our Practice Nurse. You should not have the test while you are having a period or in the 4 days before or after your period as this can affect the sample.

The NHS Health Check is a health check-up for adults in England aged 40 to 74. It is 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.

Learn more about NHS Health Checks on the NHS website

If you are eligible for a health check and received an invite, we need certain information from you.

We offer a consulting room to the Midwifery service, which is run by North Bristol Trust.

Our midwife is typically based in the practice on a Monday and Thursday, working with our pregnant patients, usually numbering around 100 at any one time. The midwives also see patients here at the surgery that live locally but are registered at other GP practices.

The midwife coordinates your care for the pregnancy, including offering you screening blood tests and ultrasound scans. The GP and/or obstetrician will also be involved if you have any medical conditions which may affect your pregnancy. During your pregnancy you should continue to contact us in the normal way about any general heath concerns. We ask that you make it clear to our Care Navigators that you are pregnant.

It is recommended to take vitamin D and folic acid supplements during pregnancy. Vitamin D is recommended throughout breastfeeding also, at a dose of 10mcg per day, it can be bought over the counter. Folic acid is recommended when trying to conceive until 12 weeks of pregnancy, at a dose of 400mcg per day (available over the counter) unless you have diabetes epilepsy or your BMI is over 30, in which case a prescription dose of 5mg per day is recommended.

A common area of concern is the use of medications in pregnancy.
