Annual Reviews
If you suffer from chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma, chronic cardiovascular disease etc you will receive a letter or text message requesting that you attend a medical review with our specialist nurses. The doctors are very keen for their patients to have their reviews undertaken by specialist nurses as this can help prevent further problems from developing. We are obliged to send you a further letter if we do not receive a response from the first invitation.

Postnatal and baby checks are carried out 6 to 8 weeks after the birth. We will book these for you and send you a text message or letter with your appointment details.
Steroid Injections
Please contact the practice to added to our steriod injection list. Please be aware that you can only be added to the list if a clinican has advised you are eligible steriod injection.
We would like to inform all our patients who are given joint injections at the Practice that we have received new guidance from the Rheumatology Department at Portsmouth Hospital.
The guidance states that no patient should be given more than 3 injections per year in total. This is due to the risk of complications from large doses of steroids being given.
The guidance applies to all patients and is important for your safety.
Please be aware our staff have been informed of the guidance and will be following our instructions to implement these changes and there will be no exceptions to the 3 injections per patient per year.

The practice runs several vaccination clinics throughout the year.
Flu and COVID-19 vaccination clinics are run from early autumn, invites are normally sent to patients in late August for clinics in October. COVID-19 spring booster clinics are run in the spring and patients will normally be sent invites in April.
Pneumonia, shingles amnd RSV vaccine clinics are run throughout the year and eligible patients will receive invites as they become eligible for the vaccinations.
Due to staff availability and demand we have suspended our travel clinics until further notice. If the vaccines, you require are part of your NHS vaccine schedule please contact the practice to arrange the vaccinations.
