These clinics provide an opportunity to connect with others managing diabetes, share experiences, and gain practical tips in a collaborative environment.

In a group setting, you'll still receive personalised care, but with the added benefit of learning from peers and discussing common challenges and solutions. These clinics are designed to foster education, empowerment, and mutual encouragement. You’ll have access to healthcare professionals who guide the session, answer questions, and address individual needs within the group.

When you attend a group diabetes clinic, expect a welcoming environment where you can:

• Learn about managing diabetes alongside others who understand your journey.
• Participate in discussions and activities that promote healthy living.
• Gain insights into your care plan while benefiting from shared knowledge.

Group clinics create a sense of community that many find motivating. They can enhance your confidence and help you take control of your health in a supportive setting.

Women between the ages of 25 and 65 years will be regularly invited to attend for a smear test. The test is normally carried out by one of our specialist trained nurses. The best time to book a smear is midway between periods. Please inform the receptionist at the time of booking that a smear test is required. Your result will be sent to you by the Kent Primary Agency.

Times for the above services vary. Unfortunately it is not possible to book nurse appointments online due to the different lengths of time needed for various procedures. Please ring the surgery to make your appointments with a nurse.
