Services
Cancer Screening
Our practice provides comprehensive cancer screening services including bowel cancer screening programs. These preventive healthcare measures help detect potential issues at early stages when treatment is most effective. Patients receive professional medical guidance throughout the screening process and benefit from our established referral pathways for specialist follow-up care when needed.
Minor Surgery
We offer minor surgical procedures performed by experienced medical professionals in our purpose-built facilities. This service includes removal of skin lesions, joint injections, and other minor procedures requiring local anaesthesia. Patients benefit from shorter recovery times and reduced waiting periods compared to hospital-based procedures while maintaining the highest standards of clinical safety.
NHS Health Checks
Our NHS health check program identifies early warning signs for conditions like heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease. Through comprehensive risk assessments and personalized health advice, we help patients understand their health status and implement preventive measures to reduce long-term health risks through lifestyle changes and medical interventions.
Online Consultations
We provide secure digital consultation services through multiple platforms including Accurx and NHS App. Patients can submit non-urgent medical requests online, which are reviewed by appropriate healthcare professionals during regular working hours. This service offers convenient access to medical advice while maintaining strict data protection standards and clinical safety protocols.

Our vaccination services cover the full NHS childhood immunisation schedule and adult vaccination programs including annual flu jabs.
