Clinics and services

Physiotherapist

We have a physiotherapist working in the surgery three days per week. They are able to help patients who are experiencing any musculoskeletal problems such as back/neck pain, sporting injuries, sprains, ligament damage and joint pain. You can book straight in with the physiotherapist without the need to see a GP or Nurse Practitioner first. To get an appointment with the physiotherapist please speak to a receptionist and ask to be booked in with the physiotherapist.

Long term health condition clinics

Patients who have long term health conditions such as diabetes, COPD, hypertension etc. will be invited, based on their month of birth, to attend an annual health review appointment. The initial appointment will be a face to face appointment with a Healthcare Assistant who will take any bloods, blood pressure or any measurements required. They will then book you in for a review telephone appointment with a Practice Nurse who can advise on any changes which may be advisable or answer any questions.

First contact mental health practitioner

We have a mental health practitioner working in the surgery three days per week. They are able to see patients with a new mental health need, such as anxiety or stress without you having to wait to see a GP first.  To book an appointment with our mental health practitioner please speak to a receptionist.

If you do not have access to a smart phone with the ability to download the app then please submit an admin e-consultation https://florey.accurx.com/p/B82050 requesting information about your recent test results. A member of the team will then reply with the information you require.

We have made a video detailing how you can access your results electronically please see video above.
