Support to Stop Smoking

If you want help to stop smoking, speak to the receptionist who will provide you with a stop smoking information pack and book a first appointment for you. At the first appointment you will have an opportunity to discuss nicotine replacement therapy and medication, and you may be given a prescription. You will agree a quit date, and thereafter you will have a number of follow up appointments at the surgery to support and encourage you to continue to refrain from smoking.

Complementay Therapies

Although the majority of complementary therapies are not currently available free on the NHS, the Practice supports complementary medicine and provides clinical rooms for hire to private practitioners wishing to provide services to our patients.
