As part of the registration process we offer new patient health checks, which are carried out by our nurse by appointment only.

We would advise all our patients that is is good medical practice to check your blood pressure at least every five years from age thirty onwards.

Under the scheme you are able to consult the pharmacist without an appointment for a wide array of conditions such as those listed below, they can prescribe and dispense any medication that is required for treatment.

This scheme is available in all of the pharmacies listed except for Boots.

If you are usually exempt from prescription charges then you will get any medication you require free of charge, you will not be able to get any of your regular medication that you take through this scheme.

Advice about all forms of family planning is available from any of the doctors or the practice nurse during normal surgeries. Repeat prescriptions for the contraception pill can be obtained during a routine appointment with the practice nurse or doctor. We do not fit IUCDs but this can be arranged at the local family planning clinic.

If you have been advised by the surgery to submit a contraceptive pill review, please complete our Contraceptive Pill Review form.

We have a counsellor here two days a week.

Referrals for counselling are made by the doctors where appropriate.

Your health visitor can undertake all routine checks except the 6 week checks. Please contact them for details.

Dr. Hayes has a particular interest in children’s problems and does most 8 month checks, usually on a Thursday afternoon by appointment.

8 weeks checks are performed by any GP, followed by 1st primary immunisation, by appointment only.

To ascertain where your nearest childhood clinic is situated and name of your health visitor, please telephone 020 3049 4780.

A list of the childhood clinics in the area can also be picked up from reception.

Most childhood immunisations are given at the surgery by our practice nurses; an appointment must be made through reception.

They are recommended every three years for women aged between 25 – 50 years old , five year recall from 50 – 64 years old (age parameters apply to Lambeth patients only).

Appointments can be made with the practice.

Generally if you have already had five or more tetanus injections you should not routinely require any more within your lifetime.

If you are unsure of your status with regard to any injections please speak to the practice nurse who will be able to advise you.
