Medical services and clinics

All women between the age of 20 and 65 should have a regular smear test every three to five years. We send out appointment reminders to all of our patients to let you know when your next smear is due.

We send out appointments for regular checks and immunisations for pre-school children. This is to make sure that our doctors and health visitors can check that children are developing normally and that there’s nothing to worry about.

Our doctors and nurses give confidential advice on all aspects of family planning, including coil fitting and emergency contraception.

Pharmacies are now offering pill checks without the need to book an appointment at your GP surgery. 

Our local family planning service Devon Sexual Health also offers advice and contraceptive options.

Find out about local counsellors and advice services. You can access these services by speaking to your GP or the surgery’s receptionist.

Please note, you will be invited to attend if you are eligible.

We offer a wide range of health screening for men and women at our surgery. For more information, please contact the surgery.

We offer routine immunisations to eligible patients.

Our surgery will provide support to patients with chronic health conditions.

Women aged between 50 and 60 are advised to attend the Breast Screening Unit every three years for a mammography. This is to make sure we can check and detect any abnormalities as soon as possible. These appointments are sent out by the local Breast Unit.

Find breast screening services on the NHS website.

Antenatal and postnatal clinics are held within the local community.

Any patient requiring a minor surgical procedure must be seen by a Doctor and, if suitable, will be referred to the Minor Surgery clinic.

Some services available are not covered under our contract with the NHS. This means that these services need to be paid for.

The services that include charges are:

• Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements
• Insurance claim forms
• Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
• Private sick notes

This list is not exhaustive. Our reception staff and GPs will be happy to talk through the charges with you during your appointment. Please note pre-payment is required before we will complete any work.

We offer NHS travel vaccinations and general advice to our patients travelling abroad.

Please contact us in advance to give you plenty of time if you're planning to go abroad where you need to be vaccinated.

Visit our Vaccination page for more information.
