They also take blood tests, cervical smears, perform child immunisations and triage injuries. It is essential that you make an appointment if you wish to see the nurses directly.

We are equipped to handle many forms of minor general surgery including the removal of moles, skin cancers, and ingrown toenails. These are all prolonged procedures and will need a separate appointment following an initial assessment visit. Charges for this vary depending on the surgery.

This clinic allows the CNS to check your body for any suspicious lesions. Please ring and make an appointment for this. There is a charge for this, please discuss with reception.
