All the doctors provide care during normal pregnancy, delivery and post-natally. Most patients deliver in the General Practitioner Unit at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. However if special care is needed, we share the care with the local hospital consultants.
The Midwife runs an antenatal clinic at the Surgery on Wednesday mornings. Please make an appointment through Reception.

Nurse, runs the
Asthma Clinic. Appointments are sent to patients for regular review.
Please make a normal surgery appointment if you have any asthma problems
between your clinic reviews.

We carry
out a variety of minor surgery procedures at the Surgery. Apart from the
routine "lumps and bumps", we undertake cryotherapy for warts etc.
Minor surgery sessions are normally carried out on a Friday by Dr.
Simon Reid, Dr. Nigel Russell and Dr. Nick Durrell, but you need to
see your own doctor before an appointment is offered.
Unfortunately cosmetic surgery is not available on the NHS at the current
time. Please discuss this with your doctor.
|
Jean Denton and
Alan Leigh provide a physiotherapy service within the Surgery.
Please see a doctor for an initial assessment. Occasionally it may be
appropriate to arrange a telephone consultation, for example if
physiotherapy has been advised following an accident or surgery.
It is NOT possible for us to provide a domiciliary service.
(Some of the physiotherapy leaflets available from your physiotherapist or doctor have been put onto this website for your convenience. Click here to view.)

The Practice
Nursing team run the RADISH Clinic (Reduction in Atherosclerotic
Disease In SHropshire).

necessary.
Clinic appointments are sent when review is due.

The slimming club is run on Monday evenings (not Bank Holidays) between 5.30 p.m. and 6.00 p.m. by volunteers of the Friends of Radbrook Green Surgery. Members encourage each other to eat healthily and to lose weight. The Practice Nurse is available every week for any queries or concerns you may have. You do not have to be a patient of the Practice to join, everyone is welcome. It costs £1 per time and the money raised goes towards buying equipment for the Practice.
If you want to join, contact Sally Joyner on (01743) 364758 or contact the Surgery on (01743) 231817.
