Heart disease is a leading cause of death and illness that affects millions of people worldwide. Our nurses have undergone extensive training in the care of heart disease and other associated conditions. Appointments are available Monday to Friday with any of our practice nurse team.

The practice runs well established review clinics for patients who have already got heart disease and also for those who are likely to be at higher risk of developing this problem in the future.

Your doctor can refer you for specialised counselling services for particular problems such as eating disorders, adolescent problems, and alcohol and drug related problems. In the first instance, please book an appointment to see a doctor.

The flu vaccine reduces your chances of catching flu. The government recommend that those at higher risk of severe illness are vaccinated, higher risked patients include: 

Chronic Lung Disease, Chronic Heart Disease, Asthma, TIA/Stroke, Diabetics, Chronic renal disease, Weak Immune System and patients Aged 65 and over. Vaccinations will take place October / November. Housebound patients who require flu vaccinations should contact the surgery and we will arrange for a home visit from one of our Nurses. 

The influenza vaccine can not give you flu (it is a dead vaccine), but nor will it prevent other coughs and colds. If you are in the target group but still do not wish to be vaccinated please contact the surgery to let us know and so that we can input this into your computer records.
