The surgery runs a Health Check, also known as CVD check (Cardiovascular Disease) clinic for patients aged between 40 and 74.  This is to help them to better understand their risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes or kidney failure, and the adjustments required to their lifestyle to dramatically reduce such risk and ensure longer healthier lives. The check will also include your height, weight, blood pressure and cholesterol being taken.

This health check is for patients without pre-existing heart disease, stroke, diabetes or kidney disease. Patients are invited as part of a rolling programme.

Minor Injuries

If your injury is not serious, you can get help from a Minor Injuries Unit (MIU), rather than going to an A&E department. Minor Injuries Units can treat sprains and strains, broken bones, wound infections, minor burns and scalds, minor head injuries, insect and animal bites, minor eye injuries, injuries to the back, shoulders and chest.

There are nearby MIUs at Ripley Community Hospital and Ilkeston Community Hospital and no appointment is normally necessary as they offer a walk in service.

We are able to treat minor injuries that may not be suitable for normal domestic first aid and these include things such as:

    • Bites/Stings
    • Sprains/Strains
    • Sunburn
    • Splinters
    • Bad bruises
    • Whiplash
    • Minor head injuries (where there has been no loss of consciousness.
