Clinics

We offer nurse-led consultations for a number of medical conditions such as Asthma, Diabetes, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Coronary Heart Disease.  If you suffer from any of these conditions we would recommend that you have a yearly review.  Please see the reception staff for further information. In addition to our nursing team we employ Healthcare Assistants who will also be consulting with patients. 

Antenatal and postnatal care is often shared by your GP and midwife who work closely together for the successful outcome of your pregnancy.  When you discover that you are pregnant please contact the Maternity Unit at Basildon Hospital and you will be contacted by the midwife.  You do not need to see a GP first.
The maternity direct contact email is maternity@btuh.nhs.uk.

The Mid and South Essex Trust's website has further information.https://www.mse.nhs.uk/maternity-services

The doctors and practice nurses provide a full range of contraceptive advice and services. These are provided during normal surgery times and further information can be obtained from reception.

A practice nurse undertakes senior citizen health checks on a regular basis at the centre. Patients are invited by letter to attend for this free examination. 

Some of our doctors carry out minor operations from the surgery.  If you wish to undertake such a procedure you should initially book a routine appointment with a doctor to make the referral. 

The doctors can refer to the counselling services. Alternatively you can contact the Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health services via their website www.nelft.nhs.uk/services-ewmhs/ or by calling NHS 111 Option 2 for urgent mental health support.

All routine childhood vaccinations are available at the surgery by appointment with the practice nurse.  It is important to ensure that all children are vaccinated against the potentially serious illnesses and all those behind with their programme should catch up as soon as possible.

These vaccinations are particularly recommended for patients aged over 65 years or for those patients with heart, lung or kidney disease, diabetes, pregnant women  and residents of nursing and rest homes.

The pneumonia vaccination is available all year around and if you wish to avail yourself of this protection please contact the reception team for an appointment with one of the nurses.  However, the influenza vaccination is only available during the autumn and winter periods and you will need to contact the reception staff in September for details of the vaccination dates and to make an appointment.  If you are housebound and wish to have either of these vaccinations please let us know and we will arrange for the district nurse to visit you.
