I’M PREGNANT…Congratulations!

Your Pregnancy can be confirmed by using a Pregnancy Test kit available from most pharmacies and supermarkets. No additional testing is required by your GP. It is best you book a telephone appointment with a GP once your test becomes positive so we can discuss your pregnancy and make sure you know how we book your midwife, the midwife will then contact you to confirm an appointment often occurring between 8-12 weeks from the first day of your last period. Ultrasound scans then often follow at 12 weeks and 20 weeks. Please visit Pregnancy – NHS (www.nhs.uk) for more information.

Screening is a way of finding out if people are at a higher risk of a health problem, so that early treatment can be offered or information given to help them make informed decisions

The Current NHS Screening Programme includes:

• Pregnancy and newborn screening
• Diabetic Eye Screening
• Cervical Screening
• Breast Screening
• Bowel Screening
• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening

The NHS provides FREE eye screening for people with diabetes aged over 12 years old.

Eye screening is an important part of your diabetes care. Retinopathy often has no symptoms until the disease is advanced. If left undetected, it can lead to blindness.

Diabetic eye screening is changing. If you’re at lower risk of diabetic retinopathy, expert advice shows it’s safe to be screened every 2 years. Anyone at higher risk will continue to be screened more regularly. Screening is important as it helps to prevent sight loss. Have regular eye tests and consult your optometrist if you notice changes to your eyesight. Full details at Diabetic eye screening – NHS (www.nhs.uk)

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you will need to make an appointment with a nurse. This initial appointment must be at least 6 weeks before you travel.

The NHS does not pay for all of the services we provide, so patients may be required to pay for some of these services.

Our fees are in line with BMA approved national guidelines.
