Child Development Checks
These are organised by the Practice with the help of the health visitors. Parents will be sent appointments when they are due. The first check-up, at the age of eight weeks, will normally be done at the same time as the child's 1st immunisation appointment and mother’s will be invited for their post-natal check.
Child Immunisations
These are held weekly - usually Tuesday mornings. You should receive an appointment from the Child Health Department. If your child is overdue for an immunisation, please contact the surgery so we can arrange for the Practice Nurse to see you at another time.
General Surgery
The Practice Nurse runs daily sessions to deal with problems for which a Doctor’s appointment is generally unnecessary and you can make an appointment by contacting the surgery.

These are provided as part of normal surgery consultations and emergency “morning after” contraception can be prescribed. We run special clinics for coils and contraceptive implants or you may also, if you prefer, have these fitted in the family planning clinic at the Calne Family Health Centre
Stop Smoking Clinic
The Stop Smoking Advisor runs this under the supervision of a Practice Nurse to help patients to give up smoking. You can make an appointment by contacting the surgery.

Between the ages of 50 and 64 the test should be done every five years. You will usually receive a letter reminding you to make an appointment. If your test is due, please contact the surgery and ask for an appointment.
