Clinics and Other Services

We aim to provide good and comprehensive patient care within the context of general practice. Appointments may be made to attend specific clinics which are run separately from routine surgeries.

Antenatal Clinics
Regular antenatal clinics are held by Ellie Higgin, our attached midwife.

Minor Surgery
Dr Durr holds a Minor Surgery session most Thursday mornings at Broomfield Park Medical Centre. She offers a range of minor surgical procedures such as excision of moles, in-growing toenails etc under local anaesthetic. Please book a normal appointment first to check whether the procedure you require is suitable to be dealt with at our practice.

Joint injections are available at both practices and can be booked as normal appointments with either Dr Durr or Dr Whidborne.

The doctor you have seen will refer you to reception to make an appointment.

Child Health Surveillance
Broomfield Park by appointment only.

Family Planning
Full family planning, emergency contraception and cervical smears are available and undertaken by our practice nurses. Coil fitting with Dr Durr is also available.

Asthma, Diabetic, Heart Disease And High Blood Pressure Clinics
By appointment with the nurse.

Flu Vaccination Clinics
Flu vaccination clinics are held in October/November each year for all 'at risk' patients. At risk patients are those who suffer from heart disease, kidney disease, asthmatics, diabetics and those aged 65 and over. Please contact reception or look on the web site in October for details of flu vaccination clinics.

Well Man/Woman
By appointment with the nurse.

Nurse Triage
Held at Broomfield Park and run by our nurse practitioner, Marie White, this service is designed to accommodate those patients requiring urgent, same-day appointments.

Travel Advice
When booking holidays overseas it is important to consider which vaccinations you may need. Our practice nurses will be happy to give you advice on this important issue to safeguard the health of you and family. You will need to book an appointment for this advice ideally at least six weeks before your holiday. This will allow sufficient time for the vaccinations to be given and to provide you with the desired cover against diseases.

Prior to your travel appointment with the nurse you will be requested to fully complete a travel questionnaire.

Alternatively please collect the form from the practice prior to your appointment or allow a few extra minutes before your appointment for completion.

Please note that the advice our nurses give on travel is free but charges do apply to certain vaccinations. For current charges please see 'Private Charges' notice in the waiting area.
