GP Consultations
We offer comprehensive GP consultations for acute and chronic conditions at both Caythorpe and Ancaster surgeries. Patients can book same-day urgent appointments or schedule routine consultations with their preferred clinician. Our experienced doctors provide holistic care for all age groups, supported by electronic medical records and integrated healthcare systems. Appointments are available weekdays with extended hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Long Term Conditions Management
Our specialist team manages long-term health conditions including hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease through structured review programmes. Patients receive regular monitoring, medication reviews, and lifestyle advice tailored to their specific needs. We use evidence-based protocols to ensure optimal disease control and prevention of complications, with coordinated care between GPs, nurses, and specialists.
Minor Surgery
We provide minor surgical procedures including skin lesion removal and cryotherapy treatments at Ancaster surgery. Our dedicated minor surgery clinic handles non-cosmetic skin conditions, warts, and pre-cancerous lesions using local anaesthesia. Patients benefit from prompt access to specialist care without requiring hospital referral, with appropriate follow-up and pathology analysis when needed.

Patients should complete pre-travel forms at least eight weeks before departure to allow for proper risk assessment and vaccine scheduling.
