Clinics

Antenatal Clinics

 

Run by the community midwifery team.  Antenatal and parent-craft classes are held in the Medical Centre.

Asthma, Blood Pressure & Diabetes Monitoring

Our practice nurse offers routine checks, education and advice.

Family Planning Advice

Some services (including insertion of Nexplanon contraceptive implant) are available during surgery hours from the doctors and the practice nurse.  Emergency contraception up to five days following unprotected intercourse is available by contacting the pharmacy.  We provide contraceptive advice and free condoms through the C-Card System.  For a wider range of contraceptive and sexual health services follow the link to 'Sexual Health' on the East Lothian 'Right Care, Right Place' website.

Cervical Smear

We recommend regular smears for all women from 25-64 years and you will be contacted every five years or more frequently if required.

Pre-Pregnancy Counselling

Please see your doctor or practice nurse.

Childhood Immunisation & Child Health Surveillance

We strongly recommend full immunisation and will contact you at the appropriate times. All immunisations are now provided by the East Lothian Vaccination Team.  Children under 5 will be invited to attend for the recommended programme of pre-school checks with the health visitors team.

Healthy Lifestyle Advice & Health Promotion

The practice nurses and health visitors are particularly interested in encouraging a healthy lifestyle. See them for advice on losing weight, stopping smoking or exercise.

Belhaven Hospital

We no longer have the facility to admit and care for  patients at Belhaven Hospital.  The closure of Belhaven Hospital was approved at the East Lothian Integration Joint Board meeting in March 2024.

Travel Vaccinations

We no longer provide travel vaccinations

Please see the NHS Lothian Travel Clinic website for more information on how to obtain vaccines and travel advice.

You can easily get the most up to date  travel health information and find out if you need vaccinations from www.fitfortravel.scot.nhs.uk .  For personal or more specialist advice or to be given non-NHS vaccine and medicines you may need to contact a private health clinic.

 

Non-NHS Services

Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges.
