Surgery clinics – Victoria Medical Centre

We offer a range of clinics and services at the surgery. There are some tasks you can do, such as health reviews, using our online forms.

Our NHS GP practices combine the best of traditional primary care with the benefits of modern technology. We have male and female GPs at each site supported by a highly trained multi-professional team that will take care of your health.

For many people, continuity of care with the same clinician is important. For others, fast access to the practice team is a priority. Either way, we will support you to get the best care possible.

A range of services are available at all of our GP practices:

Keeping healthy

We offer the full range of NHS screening and preventative care programmes such as:
flu and pneumococcal immunisations, cervical smears, breast screening, bowel screening, NHS health checks and shingles vaccinations. We also work closely with local weight management and healthy living programmes for both adults and children.

Long term conditions

We use a range of healthcare professionals to provide high quality care for all long term conditions including asthma, COPD, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and hypertension. We provide of mix of face to face and virtual consultations to ensure you get access to convenient care and are better supported to manage your health conditions.

Contraception and sexual health

We provide routine and emergency contraception. Our clinicians can discuss the range of contraceptive choices available to you. We also work closely with local sexual health clinics to ensure you get the most appropriate care and treatment while our nurses provide cervical and sexual health screening.

Pregnancy

It is important that you take good care of your own health and that of your unborn baby during pregnancy. Patients can self refer themselves to the service, details can be obtained from the Reception team. We provide the full range of antenatal and postnatal care, and work closely with the community midwifery team to ensure you are well looked after during your pregnancy.

Child health

We provide the full range of childhood immunisations and work closely with health visitors to ensure child development checks are completed on time. We deliver consultations for your child either by video or in person at one of our practices that’s close to you.

Older adults

We work closely with Age UK to provide coordinated care and help for our older adults. We provide proactive extended health checks with structured medication reviews for vulnerable older adults to ensure we can optimize your health. Where appropriate, we also provide home visits for patients who are housebound.

Carers

We work in close partnership with local carer groups to offer support to patients of any age who have caring responsibilities for someone who is physically ill, frail, disabled or mentally unwell. This includes parents of children with learning or physical disabilities. We offer all carers flexible appointments, seasonal flu vaccinations and an annual carer’s health check.

Medicines management

Our team of practice pharmacists are responsible for the management of your medication. This involves the regular checking, monitoring and prompt processing of prescription requests. Medication reviews can be carried out virtually or in person with a focus on safe, high quality prescribing.
