Practice Services
Services provided by Drs Morrice, Masson, Andrews & Maredia. All GP Practices are contracted to provide Essential Services, that is, basic treatment of ill people. We also provide the following Additional and Enhanced Services:
Spirometry
Should your GP or Chronic Disease Nurse recommend that you have spirometry to assess your breathing problems, Dr Masson can now undertake this for you, saving you a trip to the hospital and an 11-month wait.
Contraceptive Services
We can provide a full range* of contraceptive services; any GP, Sr Brown and Sr Jackson can do your “pill check” and advise you regarding alternatives to the pill, including the injection, the implant (performed by Sr Brown and Dr Andrews) and coils (performed by Dr Andrews). If you are thinking of getting an implant or coil, please make a telephone appointment with the relevant professional.
Our practice recommends alternative methods of taking your contraceptive pill to the 21:7 regime you may be used to, in order to reduce the chances of unplanned pregnancy. Please click here to download our information leaflet which explains the rationale and your options.
*PLEASE NOTE – WHILST DR ANDREWS IS OFF ON MATERNITY LEAVE, UNFORTUNATELY WE TEMPORARILY CANNOT PROVIDE A COIL INSERTION SERVICE. WHEN SHE RETURNS TO WORK, THE SERVICE SHALL BE REINSTATED. YOU CAN STILL HAVE YOUR COIL REMOVED BY ANY OF THE GPs.
Child Health Surveillance
Maternity services
We will look after you, from pre-natal and conception counselling to antenatal care and postnatal follow up.
In most cases, on discovering you are pregnant you can call the maternity self-booking service on 0141 347 8422. If you have a chronic medical condition or are taking prescription medication, you can speak to us about how this affects your pregnancy.
Chronic Disease Management
Diabetic Care
Annual comprehensive reviews are offered for patients with diabetes; this includes appointments with the practice nurse, dietician and podiatrist. We will arrange your annual retinal screening either in the surgery or at hospital. Issues arising from your review will be passed on to a GP for consideration.
Blood Pressure
ECG
The practice has invested in an ECG machine. This allows us to assess various aspects of your heart’s health and saves you a trip to the hospital to have this done. The GP will let you know if you need an ECG done, then assess the result themselves.
Travel Vaccinations
Flu Vaccinations
We run an annual flu immunisation programme to protect the elderly and at risk. Appointments are sent out and special clinics are put on, including several at weekends to ensure access for all.
Near Patient Testing
Minor Surgery
Both Dr Morrice and Dr Masson can offer a variety of joint injections, if deemed clinically appropriate.
All GPs can provide cryotherapy treatment to appropriate skin lesions, at their discretion. Follow up freezing is offered by nurse Joanne in the “wart clinic”
