Clinics & Services
In addition to GP consultations the practice offers patients a wide range of clinics and healthcare services:
Blood Tests and X-Rays
The GP or nurse may give you some forms for investigations. Most are done locally. Here are some useful details.
Cervical Screening
You can book an appointment with the practice nurse to have cervical screening.
Contraception
All the doctors give contraceptive advice and can prescribe the contraceptive pill. The first time you require advice please make an appointment to see a doctor. Subsequent appointments can be made with the nurse.
Condoms are available free – please ask at reception.
Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception advice and prescriptions are also given. If emergency contraception is needed you can attend the daily walk-in clinic between 10am and 11am or contact NHS 111 at the weekends. The emergency contraceptive pill can be used up to three days after the event but is more effective if taken early.
The intra-uterine device is more effective for emergency contraception and can be used up to five days afer the event. We do not fit this at our practice but can be arranged at local family planning clinics. The clinic local to our practice is the Margaret Pyke Centre (44 Wicklow St, London WC1X 9HL – Tel. 020 3317 3737). They can arrange an urgent assessment if necessary. The emergency contraception pill can still be taken while waiting for this in case there are any problems with fitting the intra-uterine device.
When we are shut you can obtain the obtain the emergency contraceptive pill directly from walk-in centres and many pharmacies.
Flu vaccine
If you are eligible for flu immunisation you can book an appointment with the practice nurse to have this done in late September and October.
Travel Clinics
Travel advice including immunisations is provided by the practice nurse. You will be asked to fill in a form with information regarding your travel destinations and dates when you see the nurse. There is a charge for some immunisations and medication for malaria prophylaxis.
