Asthma Reviews
Annual review of all established asthmatics.

These reviews can be performed by our Practice Nurse by making an appointment.
Blood Tests
This service is now available 5 days per week at a number of community clinics in the Wigan & Leigh area including:
Chandler House
Thomas Linacre
The service operates on an appointment only basis, which can be made by telephoning: 0300 555 4567
For fasting blood tests do not have anything to eat or drink for 12 hours before the test is due to be taken.
Cervical Smears
All women between the ages of 25 and 65 are regularly invited for a smear test. The system is automated, so as long as you are registered with a GP, you should receive a letter asking you to make an appointment. As a result of research that evaluated the optimal frequency for cervical screening, women are now invited for their first test at 25. They are then invited every three years until the age of 49 and every five years from 50-64. From 65, only those who have had abnormal tests are offered another test.
We would like to stress the importance of women attending for smear tests when called to do so. We can pick up early changes and help avoid cervical cancer.
Smears are done by our practice nurse and take about 10 minutes in total.
To make an appointment please ring 01942 365300.
You can also book a smear appointment through the Wigan GP Alliance on 01942 482824. These appointments are in the evening or at weekends for your convenience.
Travel Vaccinations
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible – at least 6 weeks before you travel – as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
Travel Health Questionnaire
