Minor Injury
Due to our rural location the Practice offers a minor injury service to patients with cuts/bruises or other MINOR injuries which may require assessment. We are not an A&E department. You may need to wait to be attended.
Wound Care, Suture Removal and Dressings
The District Nurses are specialised in Chronic Wound Care and operate a clinic from the Health Centre. Please contact our reception for their phone number to make an appointment. Our Practice Nurses provide post operative suture removal and we see the under 18 year olds for wound care / minor injury advice.
First Contact Physiotherapist
Our first contact advanced physiotherapist can help you if you have new joint or muscle pain, examine you, diagnose cause of your symptoms and give you expert advise on how to manage the condition and refer you for specialist assessment if necessary. You can find more information here on common musculoskeletal conditions, self-help measures and physiotherapy videos.

Joint Injections
Certain joint pain conditions can benefit from steroid injection to help alleviate pain and improve function and mobility. This is done in GP clinic, usually using steroid and anaesthetic mixture injection into inflamed joint or adjacent tissue. This can benefit several conditions, for example: osteoarthritis, carpel tunnel, frozen shoulder, trigger finger and many other conditions. If you feel this might benefit you, make an appointment with GP to discuss this. Click here for more information on possible benefits and risks of this procedure.
