Clinics & Services

Well Person

These general health checks are offered to all men and women aged 25 to 65 years. The aim is to prevent heart attacks, strokes, cervical, breast and testicular cancer. Please telephone the surgery for an appointment with the Practice’s HCA.

Cervical Smear Screening

Women are recommended to have regular cervical smears every three years to check the neck of the womb is healthy and there are no signs of changes that could develop into cancer. This is usually carried out by the Practice Nurse but if you prefer a Doctor can take your smear during surgery hours.

Over 75s

All those patients over 75 years of age, who have not seen a Doctor in the past year, are invited for a general check up by the Practice’s HCA.

Diabetic Clinic

If you are a diabetic you will be invited to an annual appointment with the HCA and doctor. Approximately a week before your appointment you will be asked to have a blood test either at the surgery or if you prefer at Solihull or Heartlands hospital. You will also be requested to bring a urine sample to the appointment.
