Other Services
Maternity services
These are provided by the GPs who offer shared care with the local maternity services in Daisy Hill Hospital. A patient information leaflet providing more information is available at reception.
Child health
The practice provides a full immunisation service and runs a child developmental clinic along with the Health Visitor. This clinic takes place every Friday morning between 9.00 a.m. and 10.30 a.m. There is no appointment system and is run on a “first come – first served” basis.
Please Note: This clinic is for child development and immunisations only. If the baby needs to see a doctor, please book an appointment as normal via reception.
Family Planning
The doctors and nurses provide advice on family planning, including oral contraception, depot (injectable) contraceptive preparations and the fitting and checking of coils. A practice leaflet is available on the fitting of coils.
Minor Surgery
Conditions such as skin cysts, moles, ingrowing toenails, etc can be removed under local anaesthesia. Some problems can be helped by specific joint injections.
Cervical smears
These are carried out by our specially trained practice nurses. We operate a call and recall system and all our female patients between the age of 20 and 64 will be sent regular follow-up appointments to attend for this investigation. You will receive written notification of your smear result, usually within 4 weeks of the test. If you have not had a smear within the last 3 years please ask for an appointment.
