Patients living in Nottinghamshire registered with a GP can have their surgery funded on the NHS. Anyone else wishing to have a vasectomy performed by our doctors will be required to fund their operation themselves.

Physiotherapy is the treatment of injury and disease by enhancing the body’s own natural healing mechanisms.

We take a holistic approach, supporting self-management of common conditions and promoting independence. We consider all aspects of the patient’s lifestyle, work and leisure and how we might be able to prevent their condition in the future.

In this way, physiotherapists teach people to help themselves to better health, so whatever your age or condition, physiotherapists are able to get you back to your best

Common treatment options we use are exercise, manual therapy, postural correction and advice. Physiotherapy may benefit conditions and and symptoms including:

• joint and muscle symptoms
• back and neck symptoms
• rehabilitation after fractures or orthopaedic surgery
• soft tissue injuries
• whiplash
• sports injuries

We currently have appointments available in the next couple of weeks with our First Contact Physio (FCP). You can book an appointment directly with a physiotherapist via the receptionist, which means you won’t need to wait for a referral from a doctor.

IUCD (The Coil/Implant for family planning)

The practice provides the service of IUS/IUCD fitting/implant. Patients should see Dr. Bajracharya or Dr Sheril for counselling pre-coil fit. After discussion and counselling a joint appointment with a doctor or nurse can be made. A 6 week post coil fit is recommended.

Mental health – NHS (www.nhs.uk)

We would like to know as soon as you think that you are pregnant, although a reliable pregnancy test cannot be carried out until at least six weeks after the last period.

The Midwife will see you at regular intervals throughout your pregnancy. The Ante-natal Clinics run on Monday’s and Wednesdays and can be booked through the Medical Centre’s reception. Post-natal appointments are arranged with the patient, by the Midwife.

We recommend that all women should have their immunity to rubella checked and this is something that the Midwife will discuss with you at your First Booking.

This service offers assessment, diagnosis and treatment of foot conditions, with advice as required. Clinics are held on Tuesdays and the service is by appointment only. Patients can access Podiatry services by the completion of an application form, which is completed by a health care professional, either from the Surgery or Podiatry Clinic.

All Patients are given a standard assessment to determine the level of Podiatric need and the medical risk status. Most foot problems are treated, although some conditions may require an onward referral to a specialist clinic.

All patients can also expect to be reassessed annually to ensure any medical history is kept up to date. Social nail cutting is not undertaken by this service. If there are basic nail requirements and no medical risk factors, relatives and carers are expected to help with basic nail care.

A NHS physiotherapist attends the practice each week.
