SERVICES

Family Planning

We are able to offer a full family planning service apart from the fitting of the contraceptive cap and the intra-uterine device or “coil”. Special appointments may be required so please discuss this with the receptionist before making an appointment.

Cervical Smear Test

These are carried out by any of our nurses or the doctor of your choice. A test is recommended every three years for women from the age of 25 to 49 years of age, and then five yearly from the age of 50 to 65 years.

Ante-Natal Care

Ante Natal Care is provided by the midwives . Your first appointment will usually be in the “booking clinic” which takes place on Thursday mornings .

You will normally have one appointment shortly after that at the hospital for your first scan , and your midwife will tell you about all the services that are available for you after that.

Post-Natal Care

Post-delivery and on leaving the hospital you will routinely be visited by one of the midwives attached to the practice. They will have regular contact with you for the first few weeks.

At around eight weeks post-delivery you will be given an appointment for a post
natal check, this does not involve an examination but is an opportunity for doctor to check that everything is well with both yourself and baby.
