Minor operations can be done in our treatment room. Please discuss this with your doctor who will then arrange for you to be given an appointment.

There are a number of services that the doctors offer which fall outside the NHS, and for these are charge will be made. Please ask at reception for our full list of charges. Chargeable items include private insurance forms and medicals, various special examinations and reports for school, travel, employment and driving. Without exception we require pre-payment for all non-NHS services.
