Immunisations

As a practice we strongly believe children should be fully vaccinated (with very few exceptions). If you have any doubts about any vaccination please come and speak to the nurses or GPs here.

We are now able to protect children against a wide variety of potentially serious diseases. 

In addition to the nurses, we have staff who are specially trained in phlebotomy and our healthcare assistants can also carry out other procedures such as ECGs and blood pressure reviews.

You can make an appointment by phoning or calling in at reception or by booking online.
