Coils and Contraceptive Implants

Immunisation Clinics

We immunise against infectious diseases which can cause death and disability and strongly recommend that all children should receive their full course of immunisation.

Other immunisations (e.g.  Hepatitis B; Flu or Rubella) are advised according to age or risk. Please ask our reception staff for details.

Minor Surgery and Diathermy

Sessions are held at regular intervals for the removal of skin lesions, moles, warts etc that are causing discomfort. However, we cannot remove skin lesions for purely cosmetic purposes.

It is essential that patients have an appointment with the GP first so that the lesion can be properly assessed. If we are able to remove it at the surgery, we will arrange for patients to have an appointment at the minor surgery clinic.

Smoking Cessation

For more information contact Live Life Better Derbyshire on 01246 515550.

Contraception and Sexual Health

The doctors and nurses at surgery can give information on all forms of contraception. Most can be provided at the surgery including coils and implants.   Other providers of contraceptive services in Derbyshire can be accessed here.

We can also give advice about and test for sexually transmitted disease, although sometimes we may advise you that it is more appropriate for you to visit a specialist centre.

Electronic Prescribing

Our practice is collaborating with NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) which is providing NHS numbers for patients that may be suitable for electronic repeat dispensing prescriptions.

The information is obtained from NHS prescriptions submitted to the NHSBSA.  A member of our clinical team will contact these patients soon to explain the benefits  of this service.
