Contraceptive Services A full contraceptive service is available by appointment with your doctor or practice nurse. We can give general advice, fit caps and coils, and prescribe the 'pill', injectable contraceptives or implants when appropriate. Child Health Surveillance Baby clinics and development checks are provided by some of our GPs. Minor Surgery After initial consultation with your doctor this may either be arranged at the Braintree Surgery or WJ Courtauld Hospital. Child Vaccinations (per DoH schedule - updated November 2010) We provide the full range of recommended vaccinations. A computer system is used to let you know when a vaccination is due.
Other Vaccinations Our practice nurses will advise and administer routine adult vaccinations. For a lot of foreign travel, additional protection is highly recommended. Please come in good time and tell us your travel details. Where there are several destinations or a complex itinerary we advise that you book an appointment to see the nurse as soon as possible or at least 3-4 months before your intended departure. We will examine your records and let you know what is advisable for your intended destination, as we would like you to return from your trip in the best possible health. There may be a charge for holiday vaccinations and the list of such charges is on display in the surgery. Minor Surgery After initial consultation with your doctor this may be arranged, if appropriate, at the surgery. Well Man And Well Woman Clinics A routine physical check-up is advised every three years and an appointment should be made with one of our healthcare assistants. Chronic Disease Management Clinics If you are diabetic or asthmatic your doctor may prefer to review your treatment in a special clinic - your doctor will be happy to discuss this with you. Non NHS Services We are able to provide many services
which are outside the NHS such as insurance and pre-employment medicals, holiday
cancellation and other private insurance forms, including sick notes for work
absence of less than seven calendar days. |
