that babies and young children are growing and

Liz Barnett will be running
these in the near future. As part of the
government's plans to reduce deaths from heart disease and associated
complications, they have produced a framework to which the practice
has to comply. This will mean closer monitoring of patients diagnosed
with heart disease and also those at risk of developing heart disease.
Clinics will be run on a weekly basis and at present patients will
be
invited to attend by a letter from their GP. |

All the doctors perform
minor surgery, e.g. cryotherapy for warts. In
addition, if your doctor decides you need a sigmoidoscopy, or pipelle
sampling, or a chalazion operation, you can choose whether you wish
to attend hospital or have this performed at the Henfield Medical Centre.
Your doctor will need to assess you first and decide whether surgery
at the Medical Centre is appropriate. |
