Clinics

 

In addition to GP and ANP consultations the practice offers a range of clinics and healthcare services:

Asthma Management Clinic

Clinics are held on most Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons each week.  This clinic aims to help patients successfully manage their asthma and is run by practice nurses who have diplomas in asthma management. 

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Clinic

The COPD clinic is held most Wednesday afternoons and run by an experienced practice nurse who holds a COPD Diploma.  This clinic is run to help patients suffering from COPD to understand and manage their condition with the nurses’ support.  The nurse also carries out special breathing tests to aid in an accurate diagnosis and to monitor the disease progression.

Diabetes Clinic

This diabetic clinic is held in the afternoon and run by the practice nurse who holds a diabetes diploma. As well as carrying out routine checks on diabetes control, the nurse provides education, support and encouragement in managing diabetes.

Smear Tests (Cervical Cytology)

We recommend that all women aged 25 - 65 years should have smears carried out every three years (age 25 - 49 years) and every 5 years (age 50 -65).  The Health Board will send you a letter when your smear test is due.  If you do not wish to have this done, please come and discuss it with the nurse.  The practice nurses or a female doctor usually performs these smear tests.

Minor Surgery

The partners undertake certain minor operations to help save long waits for hospital treatment. Please note that, for legal reasons, an adult must accompany anybody under the age of 16 years. 

Family Planning

The practice nurses trained in family planning can provide a confidential service to advise and help the patients to decide on contraceptive needs.  The nurse can also see the patient to arrange a repeat prescription for the oral contraceptive pill.

Community Link Worker

Community Link Workers (formerly known as Social Prescribers) work out of GP Practices and help individuals connect with local services and community groups and activities.

Community Link Workers aim to empower people to take an active role in improving their wellbeing. They can provide support for social issues which affect a person like financial or housing difficulties, social isolation and loneliness, or anxiety and stress. Community Link Workers use a person-centred approach and talk about what really matters to the individual. They work with people to identify the challenges they are facing and support them to set goals and overcome barriers to allow them to take greater control of their physical and mental health.

This service is available to any patient aged 16 or over. 

Self-referrals can be made by patients contacting their practice and asking for an appointment with the Link Worker.

Community Listening Service

Many of us find it helpful to talk, particularly during stressful events at home or work, or after a bereavement or loss. Telling your story uninterrupted and judgment-free could help you to sort through your emotions. You may then be able to rediscover your strength and find a way forward.
