Medical services and clinics

BVM offers a limited minor operations service, please see here for more information.

All women between the age of 20 and 65 should have a regular smear test every three to five years. We send out appointment reminders to all of our patients to let you know when your next smear is due.

We send out appointments for regular checks and immunisations for pre-school children. This is to make sure that our doctors and health visitors can check that children are developing normally and that there is nothing to worry about.

Our doctors and nurses give confidential advice on all aspects of family planning, including coil fitting and emergency contraception.

We offer a wide range of health screening for men and women at our surgery.

Women aged between 50 and 60 are advised to attend the Breast Screening Unit every three years for a mammography. This is to make sure we can check and detect any abnormalities as soon as possible. These appointments are sent out by the local Breast Unit.

Please be aware, you do not need to have a pregnancy test at the surgery to confirm your pregnancy and you do not need to see a GP unless you have a pre-existing heath condition or you are on medication. The midwife team will arrange your care, scans and tests at your booking appointment.

Please do contact the surgery if you have pain or bleeding in early pregnancy and we can arrange an assessment and referral to the Early Pregnancy Clinic at St. Michael's Hospital.

If you are unsure if you wish to continue with a pregnancy please contact Pregnancy Advisory Service directly on 0117 927 6362.

We offer routine vaccinations and general advice to our patients travelling abroad.

Please allow as much time as possible to arrange your travel appointment with the BVM travel clinic. It is important to make this appointment as early as possible – at least eight weeks before you travel. Your vaccination will need to be given at least two weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines time to work, and you may require more than one dose.

Please complete the form on our information page to request an appointment.
