Should you require Blood pressure monitoring, it is a test that is available in the surgery. 24 hour Blood Pressure Monitoring means that you must wear a Blood Pressure machine on your arm for 24 hours. The machine automatically records your blood pressure as you go about your daily business. It then gives an accurate record of how your blood pressure is and allows us to treat your Hypertension more effectively and appropriately.

This service is available on the GMS and DVC card.

Nurse Nikki Hogan primarily carries out smear tests here in the surgery,  unless they are part of a consult with a GP.

It is very important to have regular smear tests taken as they may find early changes in the cells at the neck of the womb. The earlier a change is found the easier it is to treat successfully.
