Teenagers

Teenagers are welcome to see any doctor, nurse or health visitor they wish. We are happy talk about any aspect of your health that concerns you. In small communities there is often a worry about your health being gossiped about. You can be sure that all consultations are entirely confidential.

Acne, anxiety, contraception issues, growing and developing, drugs and alcohol, anything can be discussed. There is no such thing as a silly question. The practice also has two Mental Health Nurses offering support for a wide range of anxieties and health issues that do not necessarily require a referral on to specific Mental Health services.  Please see information leaflet on Primary Care Mental Health nurse service.
