Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges.

The fees charged are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.

Patients Aged 75 And Over will be invited for a health assessment in the month of their 75th birthday.

• If you are housebound then arrangements can be made to visit you at home.

We will endeavor to contact all patients over 75 who have not been seen every three years or you can make an appointment with our Health Care Assistant for a check-up if you have any concerns.

GPs will recall patients who are on regular medication or with a chronic disease at regular intervals.

The NHS is offering free health checks to adults aged 40-74 once every five years. The check is to assess your risk of developing heart disease, stroke, kidney disease or diabetes. 

If there are warning signs, then together we can do something about it. 

There is good evidence that by taking early action you can improve your health and prevent the onset of these conditions. 

If you are already diagnosed with a chronic disease then this check-up does not apply to you.

The check should take about 20-30 minutes and is based on straightforward questions and measurements such as age, sex, family history, height, weight, and blood pressure. There will also be a simple blood test to measure your cholesterol level.

Cervical screening (a smear test) checks the health of your cervix. The cervix is the opening to your womb from your vagina. Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer. It is not a test for cancer, it’s a test to help prevent cancer.

All women and people with a cervix between the ages of 24 and 65 should go for regular cervical screening. You’ll get a letter in the post inviting you to make an appointment. The GP’s at Davyhulme Medical Centre would strongly advise you to have this painless screening test.

IF YOU ARE NERVOUS OR EMBARRESSED ABOUT HAVING THIS TEST, PLEASE BOOK A TELEPHONE CALL WITH ONE OF OUR PRACTICE NURSES. They can talk you through the process and reassure you that this test is quick and painless.

Trans men and non-binary people who have a cervix should also attend regular screening, but may not receive invitations through the national screening programme. If this affects you then you can contact the practice to discuss whether you should have cervical screening.

If you have any symptoms of cervical cancer then please make an appointment at the practice, even if you have had a recent normal smear test. Do not wait to have your next screening appointment.
