Clinics We Offer

maternity

Antenatal Clinic

Our antenatal clinics are run by midwives at the surgery. We offer shared antenatal care between the midwife and the doctor. Sometimes patients will need to be seen in hospital as well. The doctor will arrange for referral to the hospital where necessary. Thereafter patients will normally be seen alternately between midwife and doctor or at 4-week intervals.

Breast Screening

All women will be called for screening between the ages of 47 and 70, with the first screen being before the age of 50, usually in the year they become 48. Routine Breast Screening examinations are held at Ipswich Hospital.

Cervical Screening

This will normally be carried out by the practice nurse. All patients are written to from the Cervical Screening Service with the result as soon as this is available - usually about 4 to 6 weeks but this varies from time to time. If you wish to discuss your results further, please make an appointment with your doctor.

Family Planning Clinic

An evening clinic is held every Tuesday from 18.30 – 20.00 and is run by a GP and the practice nurses.  However, patients may book in with any of the doctors or nurses at other times during the week. In this clinic advice is available in confidence on all forms of contraception and their correct use. We also provide emergency contraceptives.
