Patients with Chronic Medical Conditions(i.e. Diabetes, Hypertension, Heart Disease, Asthma/COPD Chronic Kidney Disease and Epilepsy) will receive an invitation to attend the necessary clinic either Annually or 6 monthly depending on the condition. The letter of invitation explains how the system operates to make sure you have all the appropriate checks each year.
Health Promotion
New patients on repeat medication may require an appointment with a doctor. Women are advised to make an appointment with the nurse either every 3 or 5 years for a cervical smear depending on age, invitations will be automatically sent to you by post.
Family Planning
As we are a small practice, we think it more appropriate to offer contraceptive advice and services by appointment with a doctor, rather than running a separate family planning clinic. Emergency contraception –the “morning after” pill– can be provided up to three days after a contraceptive accident. Female doctors are available to provide Coil fitting and Contraceptive implants. In addition New Pond Row is now hosting a walk-in Sexual Health clinic one day a week.
Sickness Certificate
You do not need a doctors’ certificate for any illness lasting 6 days or less. Your employer may however require you to complete a self-certification form (SC2) which is available from your employer or on the HMRC website.For any illness lasting longer than 6 days, you will need a doctor's certificate(Fit Note); the doctor will normally need to see you or have a telephone consultation with you for this and for any further renewals.
Non NHS Services
These include private sickness certificates of all kinds, insurance claim forms including travel cancellations, and some medical examinations e.g. HGV and taxi medicals. There is a charge for these services. The Current price list is on display in the waiting room. We no longer provide firearms reports for the police.
