Minor Injury Service Telephone (01454) 412167
We now offer a minor injury service. The aim is to see patients with minor injuries at the Health Centre, immediately if necessary or by appointment within a few hours. In this way patients can avoid having to go to Frenchay or Southmead A&E departments, waiting up to 4 hours and having unnecessary X-rays and other investigations. Our service includes assessment and suturing of wounds.
Many problems may be dealt with by phone - the doctors are usually available for telephone consultations 11.30am to 12.00pm. You can also leave a message, if you call at other times during the day, and the doctor will ring you back.
The Practice does a wide range of medicals including: medicals for insurance companies , HGV and PSV medicals, sports medicals (including diving medicals), pre-employment and employment medicals. You do not have to be a registered patient for us to do your medical. Please telephone for further details, 01454 412167
This is held on alternate Wednesday afternoons by Dr Helen Lewis and our
Health Visitor, Hilary Parkman.
The midwifery team is based at Thornbury Hospital. They can be contacted on 01454 415750. If you are pregnant, please see the doctor during normal surgery times and arrangements will then be made for midwife booking.
These are now done mainly by Sister Clare Watt, one of our practice nurses. Please make an appointment.
