The doctors will perform minor surgery that they feel is appropriate to general practice, this includes cryocautery (freezing) minor skin lesions and injecting joints. Please speak to your doctor during a normal appointment and a convenient time will be arranged, some procedures are only carried out by a specific doctor.

All the doctors are on the local obstetric list and provide maternity services. We work closely with a team of midwives from the Royal Bolton Hospital who come to the Surgery every Wednesday.

Our nurses offer full diabetic care, and for your convenience, this may be booked on any day. Please mention when booking that it is for a diabetes review and you will be given a longer appointment.

The chiropodist and dietician services provided by the PCT are now offered separately to provide Diabetic Screening.

Digital Retinal Screening eye checks are offered from the Royal Bolton Hospital Eye Department.

The nurses and doctors provide a range of contraceptive services and advice. For your convenience, this is available every day in normal appointments.

The ‘morning-after pill’ must be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse (but it is most effective if taken in the first 24 hours). If you inform the receptionist, you will be dealt with promptly.

Other contraception such as coil fitting, implants (Implanon) and depo Provera injections are available from the surgery. Please book a normal appointment with a doctor to discuss the options. When requesting any appointment for this kind of contraception service please inform the receptionist which service you require to ensure the doctor has the correct amount of time to carry out the procedure. Some procedures are only done by a specific doctor.

Coil fitting appointments are available on Tuesday afternoons.
