You do not need to make an appointment to check your blood pressure. We have a blood pressure monitor in our waiting room and it is available during our hours of opening. If your blood pressure needs further monitoring you will be contacted. If your GP advises, we can provide blood pressure monitors for home use and can offer 24 hour blood pressure monitoring. Our blood pressure equipment has been donated by Patient Link.

Emergency contraception (EC) is free, and can be used to prevent an unplanned pregnancy for UP TO 5 DAYS after sex, and is more effective the earlier it is taken. Please do let the staff know that you need EC when you phone so that we can deal with your request appropriately. You are able to request EC from the on-call doctor service at the weekend and bank holidays. You can also buy EC from any pharmacy, and it may be free in some chemists to younger women.

The copper intrauterine device is highly effective as emergency contraception, and can be fitted many days after unprotected sex. Please ask for advice.

Clinics are held every October and November.

Please telephone in September to see when the flu vaccination clinics are being held and to book an appointment.

Pneumonia vaccination is also recommended for these groups of patients. We recommend that anyone over the age of 65 should have a pneumovax injection for the protection against pneumonia. This is a one-off injection and lasts a lifetime. If you have already had this injection at a previous surgery, please let us know and we can add this information to your records.

These clinics are run by Dr R Sanghani.

If you have any ‘lump’ or ‘bump’ that is bothering you he will be happy to offer advice. Should removal or biopsy be appropriate the doctor will be happy to arrange this. Some warts require specialised treatment and the practice has the facilities to provide this. Your doctor will advise you about what treatment is necessary.

Cryotherapy

Treatment of skin conditions by freezing

Freezing treatment is a carefully controlled cold burn. After the procedure, you may notice some soreness or pain; this will depend on the length of the freeze and the area being treated.

After treatment, marked redness always occurs, together with some swelling; the degree of swelling depends on the site of the treatment and its duration, but these changes usually only last for a few days.

In some people, particularly where the skin is rather thin and sensitive, a water (or blood) blister may form and fluid may discharge. If a blister does form, simply let out the fluid with a sterile pointed instrument and repeat this until the blister no longer refills.

If you are prescribed a cream to use, apply it twice daily. Areas which are weeping can be covered with a clean, dry dressing. If you have not received a prescription, you may use any antiseptic cream twice daily, to avoid the small chance of infection.

Once the fluid discharge/blistering stage is over (usually a few days, unless the condition of your skin necessitates prolonged freezing) a crust or scale may form. If undue discomfort or pain occurs after the treatment, then take Paracetamol.

Freezing treatment may result in localised pigmentary change or leave a scar
