  • Please contact reception for further information on these services.

External Agency Clinics

We offer several services that are led by external agencies.

We have a midwife at the surgery every Thursday morning.

If you need to get in touch with a midwife outside of these hours, you can call the midwife clinic on 01603 218136.
Every Wednesday we have an advisor from Smokefree Norfolk on site to see patients who have been referred or self referred for help to give up smoking.

Our advisor will give patients advice and support along with being able to prescribe aids to help.

If you would like help in quitting smoking please speak to a receptionist who would be happy to refer you.

You can also call 0800 0854 113, text ‘bfree’ and your name to 65000 or visit the Smokefree website at www.nhs.uk/smokefree.
Our NRP worker is at the surgery every Tuesday.

Norfolk Recovery Partnership provides advice and treatment for adults with drug and alcohol problems.
Debbie Holland is our diabetic nurse specialist. She visits the practice monthly and will oversee the care of patients with type 1 diabetes or who have unstable diabetic control.

All other diabetic care is offered by our practice nurse.

Sexual Health

We are now able to register those aged between 13 and 24 for a C-Card (free condoms) and issue chlamydia screening kits for home use.

We can also issue the contraceptive pill and emergency contraception. However, if you need sexual health screening or would like information regarding IUDs or other contraception methods, you would need to visit the sexual health clinic (iCaSH).

The NHS no longer offer free pregnancy tests at the surgery. These will need to be purchased.

Travel Immunisations

Providing travel immunisations is not part of standard NHS services. However, practices do provide routine immunisations, which coincidentally may also be required when travelling abroad, these are:

  • Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio
  • Cholera
  • Typhoid
  • Hepatitis A

We can undertake the above vaccines in preparation for your travel plans on the proviso that you have previously had a travel consultation. We are not able to give these without you having a detailed consultation as they may not all be necessary or may leave you without suitable cover.

If you are travelling abroad, you should contact a travel clinic to book a consultation at least 6 weeks before departure. Consultations are not done at the surgery. They are privately run and therefore are chargeable. A consultation with a travel clinic will give you information on what vaccines you need for the area you are travelling to.

  • Please contact reception for further information or to book an appointment.

Child Immunisations and Vaccination

Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent many infectious diseases.

Vaccines teach your immune system how to create antibodies that protect you from diseases.

NHS Health Checks

The NHS health check is a health check up for adults in England aged 40-74.

It’s designed to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia. As we get older, we have a higher risk of developing one of these conditions. An NHS health check helps find ways to lower this risk.

  • For further information, please contact reception.

Phlebotomy Clinic

We run phlebotomy (blood) clinics at the surgery every day.

These are not drop in clinics and you will need to book an appointment.

  • Please contact reception for further information or to book an appointment.

Chronic Disease

At the surgery each of our nurses specialise in different chronic diseases.

Appropriate advice and treatment are given where problems arise and referral to specialists will be arranged when required.
