The practice currently does not offer the following services due to either lack of GPs or they are services that do not fall within the GMS contract and they have currently chosen not to offer them:

• Drug and Alcohol Prescribing
• Shared Care for Gender Reassignment
• Phlebotomy for patients who are not on shared care agreements, Warfarin medicine, the elderly or frail
• Dressings and stitch removal for patients who have had private procedures

All of the above, except phlebotomy, should be dealt with by the patient’s consultant at the hospital. Phlebotomy patients who do not qualify for blood services at the surgery should attend Heatherwood Hospital.
