Clinics & Services
Access
There are disabled parking spaces close to the front door at all of our sites. Wheelchair access is available to all consulting rooms. We have accessible toilet facilities. A hearing loop is available at Reception.
A copy of the Practice Booklet with lots of information about the practice is available in large font - please ask Reception to arrange a copy if required.
Please make the Receptionist aware when you are booking your appointment if you are likely to need any additional assistance when you arrive at the surgery. For example, clinical staff will collect patients with sight impairment from the waiting room and accompany them to the consulting room if required.
We can arrange interpretation services in person or by phone for patients who do not speak English. A signing service is also available for patients who are deaf or who have limited hearing. Please let us know if you need one of these services when booking an appointment.
Antenatal Care
Midwives from Frimley Park Hospital are attached to the practice and share responsibility for ante and post natal care with the doctors. If you have done a positive pregnancy test, you do not have to see a doctor unless you have concerns. You should make a "booking in" appointment with the Midwives when you are about 8 or 9 weeks. The Midwives will then advise on all aspects of the pregnancy. Patients can, if they wish, contact the Midwives directly, to make the booking appointment themselves or speak to Reception.
The Midwives can be contacted by telephoning 01252 749598. All pregnant women will be given information on how to contact the Midwives in an emergency.
Clinics are usually held at Yateley Medical Centre and Monteagle Surgery.
