CLINICSPractice PolicyWe recommend that patients have their blood pressure and urine checked every
year. If you have not had this carried out in the recent past, please request
it from the practice nurse. Bring a sample of urine with you. The baby clinics are held each Wednesday from 9.00 to 11.45 am. Child development
checks and immunisations are given and the clinics provide an opportunity to
discuss other problems, eg sleeping, feeding and child health worries with a
doctor or a nurse. The baby clinic is now based at the new Childrens’ Centre
at Castledyke Primary School, Barton upon Humber. Clinic appointments are available throughout the week and are run by the Respiratory nurses in conjunction with your GP. Diabetic Clinic appointments are available throughout the week and are run by the specialist nurse and her team. Contraceptive care is provided by all the doctors during surgery hours. There is also a family planning clinic run by a specialist nurse throughout the week. The doctors are happy to carry out medicals, eg insurance and driving licence.
Telephone the surgery for an appointment. Please ask at reception for the charge
for these services. Please make an appointment at least 8 weeks in advance of your holiday to

and rest homes. Please contact the reception staff in October for details of
