Asthma / COPD
Nurse Rose is our respiratory trained nurse with a specialist interest in both asthma and chronic lung disease (includes COPD).
Each year you will be asked to attend an annual review which you will receive notification of from Emsworth Surgery.
If you notice you are having problems with your inhalers or your condition is worsening then please make an appointment with Nurse Rose to discuss this.
If you would like routine advice regarding your care please consider using our eConsult service.
Baby Clinic
We offer baby vaccinations on Wednesday afternoons.
Cervical Smears
All women between the ages of 25 and 64 are eligible for a free cervical screening test every three to five years.
The screening intervals are:
- 25 to 49 every 3 year
- 50 to 64 every 5 year
- 65+ The NHS will only screen those who have not been screened since age 50 or have had recent abnormal tests
The NHS call and recall system invites women who are registered with a GP.
It also keeps track of any follow-up investigation, and, if all is well, recalls the woman for screening in three or five years time.
It is therefore important that all women ensure their GP has their correct name and address details and inform them if these change.
Women who have not had a recent test may be offered one when they attend their GP or family planning clinic on another matter.
Women should receive their first invitation for routine screening at 25.
