NON-NHS SERVICESThe practice offers a range of non-NHS services and the current fee is charged. These include medicals for driving, insurance, travel etc, private certificates and medical reports. CHILD HEALTHAll the doctors are able to carry out examinations to ensure that your child is developing normally. They are helped in this by our health visitor, who holds regular clinics. You should register your child for child surveillance checks if he or she is under five; details of the special checks will be given to you when you register your child. FAMILY PLANNING All the doctors have undergone specialist training and are able to advise on all aspects of family planning including counselling before starting a family, on problems with fertility or on your contraceptive needs. MINOR SURGERYAll the doctors are qualified to carry out minor operations. If you wish to see a doctor about a skin problem, please either make an appointment with your usual doctor during normal surgeries. SEXUAL HEALTH Unprotected Intercourse – If you have had unprotected sex you may need emergency contraception. This is best taken as soon as possible but at least within 72 hours. You can make an appointment by telephoning either surgery during open hours. Just tell the receptionist that you have a ‘blue card’ and you will be given an appointment for the same day – no questions asked. At weekends telephone the out-of- hours service (01603 488488) who will provide emergency contraception if required. For information on sexually transmitted
