Services provided

Unfortunately, the practice does not provide this service. Liverpool CCG is responsible for the commissioning of the city wide service, principally funding the main treatment centres (eg Garston).

As the practice receives no additional funding to undertake blood taking, providing this service would necessitate our nurses being taken away from duties such as chronic disease management.

Chronic disease management clinics monitor patients with health problems including Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke, Heart Failure, Diabetes, COPD and Asthma.

These are run by our practice nurses who offer regular checks on blood pressure, blood tests such as cholesterol, and breathing tests. The purpose of these clinics is to ensure that all our patients receive the best quality care as defined by the latest guidelines.

Everyone is at risk of developing heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes or kidney disease. But these diseases can often be prevented, and NHS Health Check can help you by assessing your risk and giving you personalised advice on how to reduce it.

The practice runs a Minor Surgery service in which skin conditions such as moles, warts or skin tags are removed under local anaesthetic by Dr Paul Johnson.

Anyone keen to access this service would do so by making an appointment with Dr Johnson.

Warfarin The purpose of anticoagulants is to slow down the body’s own clotting process, thereby reducing the risk of blood clots forming in certain high risk conditions: Atrial Fibrillation Deep Vein Thrombosis Pulmonary Embolism Artificial heart valves or other heart valves disorders To be effective, warfarin must be administered to maintain a prescribed level of anticoagulation (measured by a blood test called “lNR”). Close monitoring of warfarin is required to maintain and not exceed this level of anticoagulation. Excessive anticoagulation could potentially put the patient at risk for unnecessary bleeding complications.

Blood tests are done regularly depending on the individual response to drug regimen and warfarin dosage is adjusted, as needed.
