Medical Examinations
Medical examinations for special purposes, such as fitness to travel, pre-employment, insurance, driving medicals etc are undertaken during normal surgery hours. A fee will be payable. Please contact the surgery to make an appointment. Fees are clearly displayed in the reception area.
Health Promotion
The aim of promoting health is to try to identify risk factors at an early stage and thereby prevent them from causing ill health. For this reason we will ask about drinking and smoking habits and measure your blood pressure and weight from time to time.
This is especially wise in people with a family history of heart disease, diabetes or stroke.
Flu Vaccination
In accordance with Department of Health guidelines, we recommend influenza plus pneumonia vaccination for patients with diabetes, chronic heart, respiratory, lung or kidney disease and residents of nursing and rest homes and their carers, and all patients over 65.
The vaccination is usually available from October; please contact the surgery for further details.
Counselling
A counselling service is available after consultation with your doctor at the surgery.
Minor Operations
The doctors carry out minor surgical procedures by appointment. The minor operation surgery is held some Wednesdays at Maryport Community Hospital.
