Please make an appointment with the doctor when your baby is 8 weeks old for a routine health check.  When booking, please let the receptionist know that it is for your baby’s 8 week check and she will arrange for your baby to see the nurse afterwards to have his/her first set of injections. New mums should also make an appointment with the doctor around about this time for their own check-up.

Our GPs and nurses can give advice on contraception and can also give teenage pregnancy advice.  Advice is also available on healthy eating and vitamins to take before conception to ensure your baby has the best possible start.  Please make an appointment at reception.

Blood Tests

Our healthcare assistant is a qualified phlebotomist and we are able to offer blood tests at the practice for some of our patients - please speak to Reception for details.  Appointments are available on Monday - Friday Mornings.

Travel Health

Patients should get advice from our nurse on travel health - it is advisable to do this before actually bookelderley_BP_checking a holiday. Some holiday vaccinations are required up to six weeks before you travel.  Please complete a vaccination questionnaire with as much information as possible (available from reception or download one from the above tab) and return it to the practice.  The nurse will then assess what vaccinations are required and reception will contact you to arrange your first appointment at which you will be given the relevant vaccinations.  Most patients will only need one appointment but if you are back packing or a frequent traveller/long stay traveller then you may need subsequent appointments.
