  • Asthma 
  • Diabetes
  • Hypertension
  • Coronary Heart Disease
  • COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
  • Cerebrovascular Disease (Strokes and TIAs)
  • Peripheral Vascular Disease  
  • Smears
  • Childhood and Adult Vaccinations
  • Foreign Travel Advice and Vaccinations
  • Leg Ulcers and Wounds (excluding suturing)
  • Diet, Weight Control and Exercise
  • Ear Syringing

Our team also consists of our two Healthcare Assistants, Carly Broad and Eman Hawa who take blood at the request of our doctors and assist in some of our specialised clinics, such as Diabetes. Carly & Eman also undertake blood pressure checks; ear syringing; routine weighing and ECGs.
