Anticoagulant Clinic Patients who are prescribed an anticoagulant such as Warfarin, and need regular blood tests, can have their blood monitored in the surgery on our Coagucheck machine which merely requires a finger prick sample of blood.
Child and Adult Immunisation Babies and children are invited to attend the nurse’s clinic for routine immunisations when they are due for them.
