Blood pressure readings
If you need a blood pressure reading, you do not need to make an appointment. Special automatic machines are available in the interview room in the reception area. One will also measure your height and weight and calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index).
You can take the printout to the receptionist (make sure your name and date of birth is written clearly on the back) who will make sure the reading is added to your record.
Cervical smears
The practice offers a cervical smear screening service, and all women between the ages of 25 and 64 will automatically be invited every three to five years to attend. The smear is normally undertaken by a practice nurse by appointment. The test results are usually available after about 5 weeks. Please ensure you attend your appointment for this important test.
