Clinics We Offer
Contraception Services
The Practice Nurses carry out Pill Checks and administer the Contraceptive Injections.
Our specialist members can fit coils & implants. This would be within allocated appointments slots. To access these you will need a specific telephone appointment initially booked only through calling the practice or via another clinician if deemed suitable. You will be sent information and a text questionnaire in advance. The trained coil/implant fitter will review your answers and call you to discuss further. If appropriate, they will book you in for a coil/implant fitting with them at the practice.

Dementia hub
Every two months we host a dementia hub run by Alzheimer's uk facilitated by Meridian PCN. This is for people diagnosed with dementia or awaiting a clinic to possibly diagnosed dementia, and their carers. They will provide support, advice, and sign-posting to relevant services and benefits. They can also provide help if there is an urgent change in behaviour in the person with dementia by closely following up over the phone and offering advice to best alleviate these crises. Please contact us if you would like to access this service.
COPD workshop
Melbourn hub, as part of our PCN, will host workshops to educate and support people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. A specialist respiratory nurse will provide knowledge and up to date tips. The breathlessness from this can be debilitating, as one of our recent research studies has shown, and so we are proud to offer some more support. These are ad hoc events so please look out for our social media or the PCN website. https://meridianpcn.gpweb.org.uk/
