Our midwife Tina Spearing holds an antenatal clinic on a
Wednesday afternoon between 12.30pm and 3pm by appointment. If you
think you may be pregnant please make an appointment to see your
doctor as soon as possible to confirm this and have a check-up.
Arrangements will then be made for you to see the midwife.
Well Baby Clinic is held with the doctor, health visitor and
practice nurse every Wednesday afternoon between 1.30pm and 3pm at
the surgery for routine immunisations, weighing and surveillance
checks. Please do not bring unwell children to this clinic.
Held at the surgery by appointment once a month by Dr Silvey.
Initially a routine appointment with the doctor should be made to
ascertain that treatment with liquid nitrogen is appropriate.
All doctors give a comprehensive range of family planning advice
and treatment. These appointments are available during normal
surgery hours.
All women between 25 – 65 are included in the recall system and
will receive a letter inviting them to attend for a smear at
appropriate intervals. If you have not had a smear within the last 5
years, please contact the surgery for an appointment.
Sister Anne-Gili-Ross will advise and review treatment. All
patients with asthma especially those on preventative treatment are
encouraged to be seen in this clinic annually.
Sister Jane Bush and Dr Clare Andersson run a coronary heart
disease clinic where patients are reviewed annually.
Sister Jane Bush and Dr Mervyn McGowan or Dr Kathryn Waters run a
Diabetic clinic where diabetic patients are reviewed at least
annually and are advised on lifestyle, diet and treatment.
This practice welcomes teenagers. We want you to feel comfortable
about coming to see a doctor or a nurse. The doctors and nurses are
happy to see you by yourself, if this is what you want, even if you
are under 16. You may like to bring a friend with you. Anything you
discuss with any member of this practice will stay confidential.
You can book an appointment with Sister Barbara Corcoran in the Teen
Clinic held each Friday afternoon for immunisations or for advice
At around 14 – 15 years of age, young people will be sent an
invitation to attend a Teen Health Check on a Friday afternoon for a
tetanus booster and a chat with the nurse about teen health issues.
At Sea Mills we wish to encourage young people to feel confident
about asking to see a Doctor or Nurse when they need to.
Any young person who comes to the surgery or telephones can ask for
a 4YP appointment.
They will be given the choice of the next available appointment with
a Doctor or Nurse. If there are no free appointments they will be
asked to have a seat while the Receptionist informs the Duty Doctor
who will see the young person as soon as possible.
People are travelling more often and further a field. At Sea Mills
Surgery we not only provide vaccinations required for your holidays,
but advice on Malaria prevention and other parasitic risks. The
demand for appointments is very high and so we ask that all patients
complete a 'Travel form' available at reception (or
download it from here). Once returned,
completed to your best knowledge and with as much detail as
possible, a nurse will check which vaccines are required for your
destination. Reception will then contact you to arrange an
appointment. Please take into account that vaccines take 10-14 days
to be at peak effectiveness, so the more notice you give us the
easier it is to provide you with the appointment you require.
Travel Clinics are held on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 4.15pm –
5.15pm.
We would like to record on your records whether you either care
for a person with a disability/illness or indeed whether you are
being cared for. Please ask at reception for the necessary form to
complete so that we may be in a position to offer help and advice
where necessary.

Tuesday and provides an average of 8 free counselling sessions to
patients referred by their GP.
