General medical services
Three Yearly Checks
Patients who have not been seen by a health professional for over three years can request a health check with one of our practice nurses. During this check you will undergo a routine physical examination e.g. height, weight, blood pressure and urinalysis, along with an update of your general health.
Over 75 Years Check
Patients over 75 years of age, who have not been seen by a health professional for over twelve months, can request a health check with one of our practice nurses. During this check you will undergo a routine physical examination e.g. height, weight, blood pressure and urinalysis, along with an update of your general health. Where a visit to the surgery would be inappropriate a home visit will be arranged.
