Clinics & Services
Specialist Clinics
Our Clinicians hold regular clinics for ongoing supervision of patients with hypertension (high blood pressure), heart disease, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
When your condition is in good control, the Clinician will arrange for long–term supervision at one of these clinics.
You can get further supplies of any medication you need through the repeat prescription system.

All Patients with diabetes receive annual eye checks through the retinal screening service.
