Clinics
Antenatal Clinics
These are run by Frances Hannan, Midwife. Patients are seen by the Midwife at the surgery by appointment only.
Baby Clinics
These are run by our Practice Nurses for childhood immunisations.
At Lofthouse Surgery the clinic is held weekly on a Wednesday afternoon from
1.30 - 3.15pm and at The Manse Surgery, Rothwell, on alternative Tuesdays from
1.30 - 3.15pm. These clinics are appointment-only sessions.
Cryotherapy (Wart Clinics)
These are run by one of the Doctors on a 5-6 weekly basis. You will be advised to make an appointment for this clinic by your own Doctor as appropriate.
Minor Surgery
Minor surgical procedures are carried out by appointment and the Doctors will be happy to advise you on this.
Travel Immunisation and Vaccination
Our Practice Nurses give advice on travel vaccines and travel health and in order to assist them we ask that you complete our 'Travel Questionnaire' as soon as your holiday is booked. The Practice Nurse will then carry out a risk assessment for the areas to be visited. You will be asked to ring the surgery 3-4 days after completing the questionnaire and advised when to commence any necessary treatment.
Teaching / Training
At the present time we do not have student doctors or doctors in training in the practice.
Yellow Fever
We are a registered Yellow Fever Centre for both registered and non-registered patients. There is a charge for this service. Please ask reception staff for details.
Flu Vaccination
An annual flu vaccination is particularly recommended for patients with heart, lung or kidney disease, diabetes and residents of nursing homes.
Please contact the reception staff from August onwards for details of the vaccination and to make an appointment.
If you are housebound a home visit can be arranged; please ring reception and they will be happy to help.
Non-NHS Examinations
The Doctors are happy to carry out medicals, eg insurance and driving licence, by appointment. Please telephone the surgery to book an appointment, and ask reception for the charges for these services.
Carers
If you look after a relative, friend or child who, because of illness, disability or the effects of old age, is unable to manage without your help, you are a Carer. This surgery is in close contact with Carers Leeds. By completing a yellow card obtained at reception, your status as a carer will be added to your clinical details and upon request we can refer you to Carers Leeds services.
Health checks
If you are aged 16 - 75 you are entitled to a health check every three years. Patients aged 75+ are entitled to a health check every year. Please make an appropriate appointment with our practice nurse.
