Ante-natal Care

Patients who are pregnant can now book in directly with the local midwife in the Belford Maternity Unit. (01397 700 371) 

We are happy to see expectant mothers in the surgery but we no longer have an ante-natal clinic due to restructuring of midwife rotas etc. 

It is local practice for all first babies to be born in Inverness. About 1 in 4 of our pregnant mothers deliver in the local Belford unit supervised by our local midwives.

Asthma Clinic

An asthma clinic is run by our practice nurse Donna MacPhee. However if this does not suit, please make a double appointment during an ordinary surgery.

Most patients will be recalled to make an appointment to an ordinary surgery when their repeat prescription is due.

Cervical Cytology/Smear Tests

These are usually performed by the Practice nurse or by one of the female doctors. Our computerised recall system prompts us to send for you every three years for this and for some patients more frequently.

We will write telling you when your next smear test is due and results are sent direct from the laboratory usually within 3-6 weeks of the smear test. If you have not heard within six weeks please contact the surgery.

Contraceptive Implants and Coils (IUS / IUD) can be inserted and removed at the surgery. Please book for a specific clinic for Dr Cant and Dr Hemm.

Contraceptive options can be discussed with any Doctor or Nurse. The oral contraceptive pill / depo injections can be given during a routine surgery appointment. https://www.contraceptionchoices.org
