Antenatal care is the care and help you receive from health professionals during the course of your pregnancy. It is important you take good care of your own health and that of your unborn baby during pregnancy.
As soon as you find out you are pregnant, you should get in touch with us to find out more information on the services and support that are available to you.
Patients are seen by the doctors during surgery hours. We carry out antenatal care and postnatal checks at 8 weeks after delivery. Joint care is generally undertaken with Beckenham Hospital and delivery at the Princess Royal University Hospital, Farnborough. Please ask at reception for an information leaflet outlining the full programme of antenatal care.

One of the most important things that a parent can do for their child is to make sure that they have all their routine childhood vaccinations. It’s the most effective way of keeping them protected against infectious diseases.
Ideally, children should have their jabs at the right age to protect them as early as possible and minimise the risk of infection.
Find out which jabs your child needs, when they need them, and what the benefits of each jab are.
Please call the surgery to make an appointment.

Our practice nurse provides a suture removal service for both registered and temporarily registered patients who need to have stitches removed following a surgical procedure.
Led by the Practice Nurses.
The practice is fully involved in the national computerised screening programme. We recommend a smear every 3 years for sexually active women between the ages of 25-49 years and every 5 years for women aged 50-64 years. You will receive an invitation or reminder from Bromley Primary Care Trust who will also send out the results of your smear. Appointments can be made with the practice nurse for screening. A smear test is best done in the middle of your menstrual cycle (between periods), so you need to book your appointment accordingly. General checks are carried out and health promotion advice given. Cervical smears can be carried out routinely by any of the doctors or nurses on a three yearly basis for the early detection and prevention of cervical cancer.
Led by the Practice Nurses in liaison with the doctors.
Our nurses have extensive knowledge and experience in the management of conditions such as diabetes, asthma, chronic heart disease, COPD and high blood pressure. If you have been diagnosed with one of these conditions, your GP will involve the practice nurses in your care at the earliest opportunity after your condition has been stabilised. The nurse will then assume responsibility for the monitoring and management of your chronic disease, liaising closely with the hospital/GP as necessary.

In addition, our Healthcare Assistant monitors patients who have straightforward hypertension. She works closely with the doctors and nurses to ensure routine tests are up to date.
These are available each autumn generally commencing at the beginning of October.
This vaccination is free of charge for the elderly and for those patients with chronic conditions such as asthma or hearth disease. Patients considered ‘at risk’ are also offered the pneumonia vaccine. Please ask at reception for details.
Flu Immunisation
Seasonal flu is a highly infectious illness caused by a flu virus.
The virus infects your lungs and upper airways, causing a sudden high temperature and general aches and pains.
You could also lose your appetite, feel nauseous and have a dry cough. Symptoms can last for up to a week.
We offer ‘at risk’ groups the flu vaccine at a certain time each year to protect you against the flu virus.
You may be invited for a flu jab if you are:
- over 65 years of age
- pregnant
or have:
- a serious heart or chest complaint, including asthma
- serious kidney disease
- diabetes
- lowered immunity due to disease or treatment such as steroid medication or cancer treatment
- if you have ever had a stroke
- If you have any queries please contact the surgery.
