Clinics & Services

We provide a full general practice service and offer patients specialist advice and support in the following areas.

Antenatal

Our patients have access to midwives for Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire with regular Antenatal Clinics held at Tring, Pitstone and Berkhamsted surgeries. Patients are asked to self-refer to the hospital of their choice and the midwives will then arrange their booking in appointment, to take place between 8-10 weeks of pregnancy.

Patients wishing to self refer to the Hertfordshire Midwife for Watford General or Hemel Hempstead Hospital click HERE.

Patients wishing to self refer to the Buckinghamshire Midwifes for Stoke Mandeville Hospital click HERE.

Patients wishing to self refer to the Bedforshire Midwifes for Luton and Dunstable Hospital click HERE.

Asthma Management

Our clinical pharmacists are trained to provide advice and support to patients with this condition. They currently hold regular asthma clinics with all appointments scheduled as telephone calls.

If you have been advised by the surgery to submit an annual review of your asthma symptoms please complete the Asthma Review form in the Admin Room. If your symptoms are deteriorating or you are having any concerns please make an appointment with a clinical pharmacist.

Babies and Children’s Vaccinations

We follow the National Immunisation Guidelines and Nurse lead Baby Immunisation appointments are held at each of our sites.  You can find information on all the vaccinations currently or recently offered on the NHS Immunisations site. This includes information about the ages that vaccines should be given, and the diseases they protect against.

If you do not wish your child to receive a particular immunisation we require a specific signed request from the mother. Please remember to bring your red book with you as it might not be possible to immunise your child without it.

Counselling Services

If you wish to see the counsellor please speak to your Doctor who will refer you. We can refer you to  a qualified counsellor who can help you with advice and counselling on a wide range of problems that families and individuals experience at different times.

Diabetic Management

All our patients with diabetes are encouraged to attend our surgery for annual diabetic reviews. Diabetic clinics are held regularly at all our sites. We have a specialist Practice Nurse who can provide advice and support for patients with this condition.

Family Planning Services

All Doctors provide full contraception services during the course of normal surgery consultations. They have undergone special training in order to give this service.

Patients wishing to have a coil or implant fitted will be asked to attend our Tring site for their appointment.

NHS Health Checks

What is an NHS Health Check

The NHS Health Check is a free check-up of your overall health. It can tell you whether you’re at higher risk of getting certain health problems, such as:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Kidney disease
• Stroke

During the check-up you’ll discuss how to reduce your risk of these conditions.

If you’re aged over 65, you’ll also be told about symptoms of dementia to look out for.

Your NHS Health Check will be done by a healthcare professional, usually a healthcare assistant and it takes about 20-30 minutes.

How will you be invited?

If you’re aged 40 to 74 and do not have a pre-existing health condition, you should be invited to an NHS Health Check with us every 5 years.

If you think you are eligible but have not been invited, please contact the practice via our administrative eConsult form or telephone, so that we can look into this further for you.

Over 75 Health Check

We are offering health checks to our patients over 75 years of age who are not regularly reviewed due to an existing Long Term Condition (LTC).

An over 75 health check aims to lower your risk of getting conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, such as heart disease, stroke and kidney disease.

The over 75 health check will take around 20 minutes.

If you would like an over 75 health check and you meet the criteria, please contact us via our administrative eConsult form or speak with our Patient Services Team.

Sexual Health

We offer a range of Sexual Health Services, including:

• Family Planning and Contraception
• Testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections.
• Termination of Pregnancy counselling and referrals.
• Emergency contraception – available every day without an appointment, but other contraceptive services available by appointment.
• Confidential advice and information

Please book an appointment with your named GP to discuss any concerns you may have.

Social Prescribing

Many things affect your health and wellbeing. GP’s tell us that a lot of people  visit them feeling isolated or lonely. Or they might be stressed out by money, work and housing problems. Sometimes it’s the stress of managing different long-term conditions. That’s where social prescribing will come in.  Our GPs can refer you to our Social Prescriber who can listen and help put you in touch with the right people or activities that might help you to feel better.
