Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:
Health visitor appointments may take place at the surgery; however, they are organised by the local authority, not the practice. Health visitors use a room at the surgery to see patients, but we are not involved in booking or managing these appointments.
For more information or to arrange a health visitor appointment, please contact your local Health Visiting Team directly.
We are able to offer joint injections for a range of conditions, including tennis elbow and ganglions, along with minor surgical procedures such as skin tag and mole removals, and wart treatment.
These appointments take place at The Oaks Medical Centre, but only if a GP has assessed you and recommended the procedure.
If appropriate, you will be added to a waiting list and contacted when an appointment becomes available.
We undertake minor surgery operations and wart treatment at the surgery.
Please ask your doctor to find out whether this would be suitable for you.

Please contact reception for further information or to book an appointment.
