Clinics we offer

Our Nurses and Healthcare Assistants (HCAs) carry out management of our patients long term conditions. Many of these conditions require a yearly check-up, so we will send out appointment invites on a yearly basis. Some conditions, such as diabetes, may require more regular follow up and this will also be arranged by the surgery.

At the Junction and Alkrington Surgeries we aim to provide whole person medical care. Mental Health is a key part of overall well-being, so to support our patients, we have offered an in-house mental health service for many years. Patients can be referred to our in-house Mental Health Service by our GPs.

As part of our in-house mental health service we offer counselling, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).

We also have access to a Mental Health service within our Primary Care Network, Middleton PCN. This service includes Mental Health Practitioners, Psychologists, and Social Prescribing Link Workers. Patients can self-refer, or be referred by staff at our surgery. For more information about Middleton PCN, click here.

The NHS Health Check is a free check-up of your overall health. It can tell you whether you're at higher risk of getting certain health problems, such as:

• heart disease
• diabetes
• kidney disease
• stroke

If you're over 65, you will also be told the signs and symptoms of dementia to look out for.

If you're aged 40-74 and you haven't had a stroke, or you don't already have heart disease, diabetes or kidney disease, you should have an NHS Health Check every five years. 

Any follow-up tests or appointments are also free of charge.

Appointments are 20 minutes in length. If you would like to book an appointment, please call the surgery or ask at the desk.
