Other Services

Diabetic Foot Checks:
Annual foot checks are required for patients living with Diabetes. One of our trained practice nurses will check the pressures in your toes to ensure adequate blood flow. They will also look for any sensation changes in your feet, as well as complications such as ulcers. This information will be passed on to your regular GP for further management. Patients will be booked in with the nurse first then see the GP directly after. Please allow for 1hr during the day for both these appointments.

Q-Fever Vaccination and Skin Prick Testing:
Q-Fever is a infection transmitted from animals to humans and can cause a severe flu-like illness. Many occupations including those involved in agriculture require vaccination as part of work requirements. We offer testing and vaccination at our clinic to help these individuals. Please call reception for information on next steps.

Spirometry:
Having breathing issues or a chronic cough? Have you already been diagnosed with asthma or COPD? Spirometry offers information about the diagnosis and health of your lungs. It also helps assess the effectiveness of your current medications. Your doctor will book you in with our practice nurse who will give you further instructions. This service is usually bulk billed.
