Minor Surgery & Cryotherapy
Minor surgical procedure for removing moles, skin tags etc, these procedures are carried out by the doctors and or nurse practitioner. Appointment is by prior arrangement with the doctor or nurse practitioner.
Travel Clinics
We are now offering travel advice and some NHS vaccinations to travel. Each patient going abroad will have to complete a Travel Assessment Form and return it to the practice either in person or via email to maccg.patient-orchard@nhs.net. To be able to offer travel advice and give vaccinations we would need at least 6 weeks as minimum notice prior to departure, if this is insufficient time we would recommend you try a private clinic.
Chronic Disease Management
We hold clinics for the management of selected long-term medical conditions including asthma, diabetes, chronic heart disease, high blood pressure, smoking cessation etc. Please ask at reception to make an appointment to see the nurse.
Immunisations
Everyone is advised to keep up-to-date with immunisations and vaccinations including tetanus and polio. Please ask at reception for further details.
