Clinics & Services

The surgery staff are here to help provide any information in an 'accessible' way for all patients by identifying patient or carer information and communication needs (whether caused by disability, impairment or sensory loss) eg. access to LARGE print information leaflets or correspondence.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is a useful way of monitoring blood pressure and helping patients with their BP control much more effectively than taking one-off BP readings in the surgery. The device is fitted by our practice nurses and then removed. 24 hours later. Recordings made during the 24 hour period is then analysed and your GP will be able to decide on best management. If you have any concerns over your BP please contact the surgery and one of our receptionists will be able to put you in the doctor’s diary to see if you could benefit from a fitting.
