Clinics And Other Services

These are provided by the doctors and practice nurses. Please contact the receptionist who will advise you about the correct appointment.

Many of our health care appointments for such as blood pressure measurement, immunisations (apart from those for children), minor surgery, maternity care and family planning advice will be provided within normal surgery times rather than fixed clinics. This is for the convenience of patients as such appointments can be provided on every weekday of every week. However, we do provide the following clinics, which are held at the Hessle surgery.

Illness And Disease Prevention

Various health promotion and illness prevention clinics are held at the health centre and are run by the Clinical Nurse Manager.

Clinics cover well woman, well man, blood pressure, dietary advice, asthma, diabetes, ischaemic heart disease, coronary heart disease and influenza/pneumococcal vaccinations.
