This service is available from 9:00am to 12:00pm Monday to Thursday. Our clinical staff will check the result and adjust your dose of anti-coagulant if necessary. Please bring your yellow INR book with you whenever you come to the surgery, even when picking up a prescription.
Asthma or COPD clinic
If you have asthma or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), our practice nurse, Angela Rees, will regularly monitor your care and help you to improve the way you manage your condition yourself. You will be offered a review every year with the practice nurse (please make an appointment). We will review treatment every three to six months for children with more severe asthma.

We can then review your peak flow and inhaler techniques and give you up-to-date information about new medications. Please bring all your medicines, inhalers and anything else that you use to the clinic. The clinic is held on an appointment basis.
