Clinics and Services

Regular clinics are held each week. Patients are seen by the midwife at the clinics by appointment and also by the doctors during surgery hours.

We recommend that children should be immunised against Polio, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough, Mumps, Measles, Rubella and some strains of Meningitis.

Immunisation is the safest and most effective way of protecting your child against serious disease. Having your child immunised and keeping their immunisations up to date will protect them from potentially life threatening illnesses such as septicaemia and meningitis.

Our practice team reviews patients with a chronic condition annually within their birthday month. This helps to ensure the best possible standard of health is maintained.

We offer a full range of contraceptive choices including pills, implants, injections and coils.

Dr Ray, De Sweeney and Dr Yates do a monthly clinic for the coil and implant fitting after a prior appointment for counselling and consent.

Oral contraception is available directly through your local pharmacy via the pharmacy contraception service.
