Elmswood's baby vaccination clinic is on Thursday mornings... please call reception for an appointment for your child. This clinic has been run all through the pandemic, and continues. It is most important that children receive all their vaccinations

We work with a team of District Nurses, who visit patients requiring nursing assistance at home. They can be contacted by phoning  8831400. Patients recently discharged from hospital should have their home nursing arranged by their hospital nursing team before they are discharged.

Sexual Health Services

We are offer a sexual health check-up to everybody aged 15 to 24.

This is just for people without symptoms and will look for infections such as chlamydia. It does not involve an examination, but involves just a simple urine test for men; and women take their own swab.

If you would like to go ahead with a check-up, please book an appointment with one of our Practice Nurses.

Dr Foxwell will fit and remove contraceptive implants.  If you would like to discuss either of these methods of contraception, please arrange to speak to them by phone.
