Clinics & Services

The practice nurses run the treatment rooms, provide travel advice and vaccinations and assist the doctors where necessary. Some of the nurses are trained in the management of chronic diseases and run specialist clinics where their expertise can be focused.

These special clinics are:

Well Person/New Patients Clinic

Cytology (smear) Clinic

Diabetes Clinic

Respiratory Clinic (Asthma & COPD)

Hypertension/Cardiovascular Clinic (Heart Disease)

The practice nurses also supervise the health care assistants, who have their own list of patients each morning for routine procedures and advise on health promotion

Please ring reception as normal for appointments in these clinics.

Flu Clinics

Each autumn vulnerable groups of patients will be offered a flu vaccination. Details of the open clinics will be advertised in surgery and locally. As we no longer send out individual invites please enquire as to the dates of the open clinics.

Retinal Eye Screening

This is done at Seascale on the third Wednesday of each month.

Test Results

Please call between 11am and 3.30pm to enquire about your test results as our reception staff will have more time to deal with your request between these times.

Note that the practice has a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection and we will only release test results to the person to whom they relate unless that person has given prior permission for the release of this data or they are not capable of understanding the results.

When you take your test you will be told how long it will be before the results are returned to the practice.

It is your responsibility to check your results and to make an appointment to discuss them with your doctor if your are advised to do so.

Choose and Book (Referral Appointments)

Most referrals are made using the national Choose and Book system. This system occasionally has difficulties. When Choose and Book is working well your GP or Nurse Practitioner should be able to discuss your choice of appointments and book an appointment of your preference at the time of your consultation.

If the system is out of service, you may be given instructions on how to make the appointment yourself.

Surgery staff, in particular the medical secretaries, will work with you to ensure you receive your appointment. If you have any queries on your referral please contact the medical secretaries for advice.

Non-NHS Services

Most of the services available at the practice are free NHS services. Please note there are some services you may require that are outside of the NHS and therefore have a charge attached to them. Payment will be required prior to the service.

Examples include: some travel vaccinations, medicals for HGV/taxi etc, completion of private insurance forms, countersignatures, records of immunisation etc. Reception at both surgeries have the relevant charges. VAT receipts can be provided where relevant.
