Clinics & Services

Practice Nurses

We have three practice nurses who provide a range of services including chronic disease management, overseas travel advice and vaccinations, childhood immunisations, cervical smears plus well person checks including advice on smoking, diet, exercise, alcohol and weight reduction.

Blood tests

Drop-in clinics for blood tests take place on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings between 8.00am and 11.45am. Please ensure you bring your blood form along.

Maternity Care

All of the doctors provide antenatal and postnatal care during usual surgery hours. The midwives run an antenatal clinic at the practice each Tuesday from 13:30 to 16:30.

Contraception

We offer a completely confidential contraception service. Please tell the reception staff if you require emergency contraception, in order that you may be seen promptly. We also offer a fitting and removal service for implants and intrauterine devices (coils). Please ask for an appointment at Reception

Child Health Clinic

This is held in the Arnbrook Children’s Centre every Friday between 09:30 and 11:00. The telephone number is 01159165010. Health visitors and nursery nurses are available at this time for child development checks and child health advice. Childhood immunisations are given by the Practice nurses here at Daybrook Health Centre by appointment.

Minor Surgery

Minor operations are carried out by the doctors at the practice, so you may not have to go to hospital for some small procedures. Just make a routine appointment with the doctor who will advise you if this is possible.

Medicals

We also undertake insurance and pre-employment medicals, as well as medicals for certain jobs, sports etc. A charge is usually made for these services. Please ask at the reception for details.

Smoking Cessation

Would you like free NHS support to quit smoking? Appointments can be booked via reception with Sue, the health care assistant, or with Michelle the New Leaf Stop Smoking Advisor, who holds clinics here weekly.

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements.  This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required. 

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Caribbean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible  - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment may be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations.  These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine.  Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge.  This is because travel vaccination is not included in the services provided by the NHS and therefore is a chargeable service.

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.

Travel Questionnaire

If you are travelling to Europe a very useful booklet has been published with advice and guidance to help you get the most out of your holiday.  To visit please click:- http://ec.europa.eu/publications/booklets/eu_glance/86/en.pdf (this is a large document and may take a minute or two to view)
