Doctors
Medication Reviews
We offer an annual medication review to each patient on repeat medication, particularly if they have a chronic health condition. If you have a medication review indicated on your repeat medication sheet but do not think you need a review (e.g. stable, well-controlled asthma) please leave the doctor a brief note.
Minor Surgical Procedures
Please telephone the surgery for the latest update on this service.
Person-Centred Care
We think you are the most important person in deciding what matters in your health care. Health care professionals should work with you as an equal partner. They will seek to understand you and your carers and to give you a say in your care. They will bring together services to achieve the outcomes which are important to you. Person-Centred care planning puts patients and their carers at the heart of all decisions.
It can help you to agree a care plan with your Doctor. You will be able to talk about:
- Your condition/s
- How your health issues affect your life
- What is most important to you
- What do you want to do
- What more can you do for yourself to improve your quality of life if you were given the right support
This will help you to manage better and keep your condition/s under control. If you would like more information, please arrange to see a GP.

Counselling
Listening Service
This service was established for patients struggling with stress and needing to talk in confidence. The hour long appointments are offered by specifically trained listeners and offers the patient an opportunity to verbalise issues and reflect, so allowing them to find their own solution. This service is open to all patients and appointments can be made directly by the reception staff accessing the Listening Service diary. For some patients this may be a helpful prelude to the counselling service.
Talking Therapies
As part of the Talking Therapies programme in Sheffield, a structured approach in dealing with debilitating conditions such as depression and anxiety disorders is offered. If you wish to make an appointment please see a GP who will signpost you to an appropriate service. For more information or to self-refer, see the Talking Therapies website.
