CLINICS
Maternity
Services
Antenatal Clinic - Thursday 2.00pm
The surgery provides full maternity services and makes use of the GP Unit at
the George Eliot Hospital. This means that low risk mothers can have all their
maternity care including delivery under the care of their family doctor and community
midwife.
Baby Clinic - Thursday Mornings 10.30am
The practice carries out all of the standard child development checks and immunisations.
The clinic is run by the doctor, health visitor and practice nurse. If your child
is due for immunisation please come along to this clinic. You will have the opportunity
to discuss with the health visitor any problems eg sleeping, feeding and child
worries. We ask you not to bring ill children along to the baby clinic, to prevent
the spread of infection.
Health Promotion
The practice is interested in all aspects of maintaining a healthy lifestyle
and preventative care. By monitoring particular aspects of health, such as blood
pressure, cervical smears and urine testing, we can prevent certain diseases
from occurring.
Diabetes
The practice offers a comprehensive diabetic service. This will enable your diabetes
to be closely monitored. Please make an appointment with the nurse practitioner
to discuss your needs.
Asthma
People with asthma benefit from regular medication review and support to enable
them to manage their own asthma. We recommend six monthly asthma reviews. Please
make an appointment with the asthma nurse.
Counsellor
We have a practice counsellor who comes to the surgery to deal with short-term
problems appropriate for counselling, eg bereavement, stress reaction, anxiety management. More
complex problems requiring longer periods of counselling would be referred to
the Bedworth Counselling Team.
