Vaccinations
Routine and travel vaccinations for all ages are available during surgery times by appointment with our nurses.
If you require a Yellow Fever Vaccination you should use Travel Centres like the one at Springfield Hospital in Chelmsford Tel 01245 234134.
Flu Clinics operate from October with appointments available from mid September. Please ask at reception for more details.
Asthma
Asthma is very common now, and our nurses have been trained to run a clinic-type service. Modern asthma care has been shown to be most successful at both reducing symptoms and preventing attacks and exacerbations. Even if you have had asthma for many years, you should attend the nurse’s clinics to make sure you are having the most appropriate regime for you; many people who have suffered for years have had their lives greatly improved by a more modern regime.
Diabetic
Our highly motivated Diabetes Specialist Nurses help patients both newly diagnosed and already living with diabetes, to understand and manage their diabetes with a 21st Century approach. They offer six monthly and annual reviews.
Heart Disease
We review all patients with coronary heart disease once a year. We will advise you on lifestyle and ensure that you are taking the correct medication.
High Blood Pressure
We have a trained nurse who will carry out a regular review of people with high blood pressure.
Warfarin
Patients on Warfarin can have their regular blood tests carried out at the surgery and the results will be made available to them immediately.
