When assessing your needs you will be directed to the most appropriate person within the practice.

Antenatal

This clinic is run by midwives from the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. If you become pregnant you will be given a “booking appointment” at which the midwife will ask you a few questions and carry out some general health checks. You will be seen regularly throughout your pregnancy either at the practice or at the local hospital or both.

Sick Notes

You may request a sick/fit note through our Reception and Enquiries Room.

During the first seven days of incapacity or illness patients will need to complete a ‘self certificate’. The form is SC2 which is given to your employer. The form SC1 for the unemployed or self-employed is sent to the Jobcentre or Social Security office. After the seven day period a medical certificate is required from the GP confirming that the GP advises you to refrain from work.

If your employer requests a medical certificate for absences of 7 days or less then this is provided as a private service and is subject to a charge. Details are available from reception.

Blood Tests

Registered patients may attend pre booked or walk in appointments on Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 08:00-12:30 in the Health Centre.

If you wish to view your results, please use our Test Results triage.

Travel Vaccines

For other travel immunisations and advice, you will need to visit a private travel clinic. We do not offer this service.
