Clinics & Services

The service at the Practice covers all general medical services including the following:-

Ante-natal Clinics

Are held on Fridays with the community midwife – patients are seen in the clinic by appointment only.

Child Health and Immunisations

The Practice offers a full Child Health Service run by Dr Hannah Goodman-Bowen.  All medical checks and hearing tests are arranged by appointment at the surgery. 

All the doctors and nurses at Almondbury Surgery advise that children are best protected by being fully immunised.  Completing full immunisation is very important – immunisation at the Practice is performed by the Practice Nurses. 

If you have any specific questions about your child, please feel free to ask your health visitor, the doctor or a practice nurse.

The full range of contraceptive services are available including the contraceptive pill, injection, implant, IUD and Mirena coil, along with emergency contraceptive.
