| Antenatal care and six week checks |
The community midwife undertakes antenatal care. This is by appointment only. To contact the community midwife, patients should ring "Call the Midwife" on 01472 875548 and leave their name and contact number so the midwife can return the call to book an appointment. Six week mother and baby checks are performed by our doctors. Please ask at reception for more information and to book an appointment. |
| Anticoagulation Service (including Warfarin) | We offer a full anticoagulation service for our patients to discuss your needs and to make an appointment for review. Please ensure you attend your follow up appointments. |
| Cancer Care | Marsh Medical Practice aims to compliment the treatment and care provided by hospital and other agencies by reviewing our patients with cancer regularly. We work in collaboration with our patients and their significant others to develop a plan of care incorporating cancer care with their other health care needs. Specific queries regarding your treatment protocols should be directed to your specialist consultant. |
| Cervical smears | Our Practice Nurses carry out cervical smears by appointment. Please make sure your smears are up-to-date as this helps to prevent cancer. For more information or to book an appointment please contact reception. |
| Child surveillance/vaccination and Immunisation |
Routine child health checks and immunisations are available by appointment. We follow the Joint Committee Vaccinations and Immunisations guidelines. A parent or guardian of the child is asked to sign a consent form before the vaccination is carried out. The Health Visitor can be contacted on 01522 843000 to make an appointment. Please be aware this is a very busy phone line so please leave a message with your contact details and they will call you back. |
| Diabetes Clinic | We offer clinics and advice for our patients with diabetes through appointment only. For more information or to book an appointment please talk to our receptionists. |
| End of Life and Palliative Care | We work together with the wider multidisciplinary team to provide the best care for our patients with terminal diagnoses or receiving palliative care. The help and care we provide is in addition to that provided by the hospital or hospice. We are committed to help our patients receive care in their own home wherever possible, if that is their preference. |
| Family planning/Sexual Health Clinic |
Advice is available from our Doctors and Practice Nurses. They will be able to advise you on which form of contraception will work best for you. We offer all types of contraception, including the implant and coils. Our Nurse carries out routine annual checks for oral contraception. A patient needing a first prescription for contraception will need to see a Doctor or Nurse Practitioner. If you require emergency contraception we will endeavour to assist you on the same day. Please talk to our receptionists who will be able to assist you in a sensitive and confidential manner. |
