Cervical Smears

Child Health Surveillance

Currently the GP performs an assessment at approximately 8 weeks. Health visitors carry out other opportunistic screening  and also assess children at 12-14 months. It is hoped that health visitors/allied staff will have access to children in nurseries or playgroups at 2-3 years of age, to liaise with staff there and assess their progress.

This is via a longer appointment with our Nurse Practitioner, Karen Williams, who has a special interest in chronic disease management.  Dr Codlin is the Practice lead for diabetic management.  Please contact reception for further details.  A podiatrist is available to all diabetics.
