Clinics We Offer

DIABETES CLINIC

Management of Long Term Conditions

Our Nurses and Health Care Assistants (HCAs) carry out management of our patients long term conditions. Most of these conditions require annual follow up and so our HCAs will write to you on a yearly basis to invite you in for a check up. Some conditions (Diabetes for example) may require more regular follow up and this will also be arranged by the surgery.

Mental Health

At the Junction and Alkrington Surgeries we care about the whole person. It is clear that a our mental health plays a very important part in our overall health so we have put together a dedicated mental health services which our patients can be referred into by our GPs. As part of our in-house mental health services we offer counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
