Specialist Clinics

Memory Clinic

We have a one-stop clinic to make it easy for patients to get assessed. We offer memory screening, blood tests and ECG which is needed before referral into the specialist memory service. There is no need to see the GP first.

We have been assessed by Alzheimer’s UK and are currently the only practice in Kingston to be accredited as dementia- friendly. Our staff have received training to help those with memory problems access the care they need more easily and we have made adaptations to our facilities.

Dementia Annual review

For patients with dementia we offer an annual check-up with the GP to review your physical and mental health.

Skin clinic

Both Dr Hughes and Dr McHugh have a special interest in Dermatology and you can book to discuss your concerns. Skin conditions are best assessed as a face to face appointment rather than remotely by video or phone.

Minor Surgery

Dr Hughes and Dr Woods are surgically trained to remove lumps and bumps and cryotherapy (freezing treatment). Please book a routine GP appointment for assessment and diagnosis first – not all lumps are suitable for removal in the practice.

Asthma and COPD clinic

It’s a good idea to have an annual review to make sure that your asthma or COPD is optimally controlled. Our nurses can do an assessment and help you with an up to date treatment plan.

We advise flu immunisation in the Autumn.

Dietitian

Clinics run Mondays and Thursdays.

Our dietitian is an expert in on all aspects of nutrition. She can give you practical advice to help you make healthy lifestyle and food choices. She also has a key role in treating a wide range of long-term conditions such as diabetes and gastro-intestinal conditions.

Dietitians are highly trained and the only nutrition professionals to be regulated by law so you can be confident that you are getting the latest evidence- based advice. 

Diabetes Clinic

Staying up to date with diabetes checks is vital to ensure that your heath is on track and we are here to provide you with information, support and advice. You will be invited for an annual diabetes review -blood and urine tests, BP, weight and foot check as well as referral for eye screening.

You will be assigned a diabetes GP who will oversee your diabetes care, contact you with results and discuss your diabetes treatment plan .

Mental Health

All our GPs are able to provide advice regarding your mental health. Sometimes it can seem difficult to talk about emotional difficulties you may be experiencing but we would encourage you to come forwards for support.
