Clinics and Services

We offer a wide range of services, with a strong emphasis on preventative medicine and promoting good health.

Cervical Screening

Have you had a letter inviting you to have a smear test or been avoiding booking one?

It is not something anyone looks forward to, and we understand! It is over in a matter of minutes and could be the best decision you make today.

Women and people with a cervix aged between 24 and 64 should have a cervical screening every 3 to 5 years to help prevent cervical cancer. The screening is quick and painless and can be done here in the practice.

If you are aged over 24 and have never had a smear test, or if it has been more than 3 to 5 years since your last screening, you should arrange an appointment with our Practice Nurse. You should not have the test while you are having a period or in the 4 days before or after your period as this can affect the sample.

Chlamydia Screening

As part of the National Chlamydia Screening Programme we are offering free, confidential screening for sexually active under 25 year olds. If you fulfil these criteria, please consider having yourself screened.

Most people have no signs/symptoms. Of those under 25s tested, 1 in 10 have it. If left untreated Chlamydia can cause infertility problems.

  • It is a simple, painless self-test
  • Treatment - if needed - is free 

Screening offered to:

  • Male & female.
  • Asymptomatic (no symptoms).
  • Partners of people who have had a positive result, even if over 25 years.

If you would like to be screened, please contact the surgery.

Hospitals

Our doctors work with the local Community Hospitals for those who need more care than can be given at home. We enjoy close working relationships with the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. Referral to a wide range of specialist services beyond Exeter is available when required.

Maternity and Post-natal Services

Our doctors work in conjunction with Community Midwife and Health Visitor teams to look after mothers before and after their babies are born. Ante-natal clinics are run weekly. Please ask the doctor or midwife about ante-natal classes.

There is a nappy changer in the patient’s toilet, and if you need somewhere to feed your baby, a quiet place can usually be found.
