Prevention of Illness
Immunisation
We are keen to prevent infectious diseases by offering a full range of immunisations. These can be arranged by making an appointment with one of our Nurses or, in the case of a child, by seeing the Health Visitor on a Wednesday afternoon.
Cervical Smears
Women over the age of 25 years should have a cervical smear every three years until the age of 50. Women aged 50 – 64 years should have a cervical smear every five years. Smears can be arranged by one of our Nurses. Late night nurse appointments are also available.
