Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)
We aim to identify and treat patients with established CHD and offer
comprehensive advise and appropriate treatments to reduce their risks. (We have a
trained CHD nurse and a yearly recall system where lifestyle advice is given and
medication is checked.)
Contraceptive services
We are able to provide a full range of contraceptive advice, including coil
fitting. These services are provided in ordinary surgery time, but please tell
the reception staff when booking appointment so that enough time can be
allocated to you. The surgery dispensary can dispense contraception
prescriptions.
Diabetes, Asthma
Our nurses are specially trained to help patients with diabetes and asthma
management. Patients are seen by a nurse following referral from one of the
Practice GPs.
Minor Surgery
Dr Herbert at Hughenden Valley Surgery and Dr Kanji at Prestwood Surgery have a
particular interest in minor surgery, and Dr Hykin at Hughenden Valley Surgery
has a particular interest in joint injections.
You will need to see one of the doctors before minor surgery
or joint injection can be arranged.
Smoking
Professional advice available with our qualified “Smoking Cessation Nurse”.
Travel Immunisations
Please arrange an appointment with the nurse at least six weeks prior to
travelling for advice and the necessary injections. If you intend trekking in a
tropical country you should seek advice as soon as possible.
Many of the travel vaccines, and most antimalarials, are
issued on private prescriptions and you will have to pay before the vaccines can
be administered. Payment needs to be by cheque or cash. We are not able to
extend credit.
cryotherapy clinic
By Appointment following referral by the doctor.
Medical research
As part of this practice’s contribution to medical research, we provide
completely anonymous patient treatment information to certain reputable third
party organisations. No individual is ever identified from the information, and
we all, as potential patients, stand to benefit from this work. If you would
like more information please contact Mrs Barbara Renouf, our Practice Manager on
01494 563275.
