Services we provide at the surgery:
 |
Family Planning We offer full family planning services including IUD, cap and oral contraception. All doctors are pleased to discuss your family planning requirements in surgeries. We offer a clinic for fitting IUCDs (Intra uterine contraceptive devices). If you wish to have one fitted, please discuss this with your doctor before booking an appointment in the clinic Maternity Services If you have failed to conceive after one year, it is a good idea to arrange to see your doctor. Antenatal care will be provided by your midwife in clinics held at the surgery. We operate a shared care scheme in co-operation with the Lister Hospital Obstetrics Department. Most confinements will occur in hospital under the supervision of a consultant. Our midwives offer ‘domino’ delivery to suitable patients; this means they deliver the baby at the hospital. Your midwife would be pleased to talk to you about home delivery. Our midwives and health visitors arrange Parent Craft Classes and will give you close support during and after your pregnancy. Child Development We check all our under 5 year old patients at regular intervals. The doctors who conduct these clinics with our health visitors have special training in children’s development. These sessions provide an opportunity to detect problems early and also give parents a chance to discuss concerns. |
