Blood pressure

Get a blood pressure test

A blood pressure test checks if your blood pressure is healthy, or if it's high or low. Having this quick test could save your life.

If you do not want to take your blood pressure using the machine, or if you’ve been asked to request an appointment, please contact the surgery.

Cervical screening (smear test)

Cervical screening (also known as a smear test) checks the health of your cervix. The cervix is the opening to your womb from your vagina. It’s not a test for cancer; it’s a test to help prevent cancer.

All women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64 should get a letter inviting them for a smear. Eligible people will now receive screening invitations and reminders through the NHS App when they're due. For those people who do not use the NHS App, a text or a letter will be sent instead. The invitation will tell you where you can go and how to request an appointment.

If you've not been invited and think you’re eligible, please contact the surgery.

Managing pain

We can help you with:

  • finding ways to manage your pain
  • reducing your dose of pain medication, if that's what you need

If you need help managing pain, please request an appointment.

Medications that should be reviewed

Studies have shown that some medications should only be used for a short time. This is because they can become less effective over time or may cause problems of their own.

These include:

  • opioids - morphine-based painkillers such as codeine, tramadol, oxycodone
  • benzodiazepines
  • sleeping tablets, for example Zopiclone
  • gabapentin
  • pregabalin

Military veterans and ex-forces

If you're a veteran or ex-forces, let your GP know. This will help us to give you the best care we can. Your GP may ask to see your military medical records. This will be kept confidential.

As well as giving you care, your GP may suggest you visit specialist mental and physical health services, or armed forces charities.

You'll be able to speak to people who:

  • understand military life
  • are from the armed forces community, or work closely with them
  • will work to get you the care you need
