Our children’s clinic is fortnightly on a Thursday afternoon, immunisations and 6 week assessments are done between 2.00pm and 5.00pm. Please note that child health will send you out an appointment card when you are due to attend.
If you think your child is due his/her next immunisation and you have not received notification, please telephone the practice and we will arrange an appointment.
If you wish to book an appointment please telephone reception on 028 9028 6800.
Minor Surgery
We perform some minor surgical procedures at the surgery so that you do not have to attend hospital unnecessarily.
Examples include the following:
- Joint Injections
- Incisions
- Excisions
We would ask you book a consultation with a GP to review your medical needs. The GP will discuss the procedure and any risks involved.
If minor surgery is appropriate and you agree to the procedure, we will ask you to book a double appointment
