Clinics and Services
Diabetes
Eltham Medical Practice offers a comprehensive clinic for patients with diabetes, covering all aspects of clinical care. If you suffer from diabetes, we will arrange for you to be seen at least once a year in the practice, or more often if necessary.
This clinic is run every week at our Passey Place, and is run by Dr Chauhan who has a specialist interest in this area.
Minor surgery
Eltham Medical Practice is able to offer a Minor Surgery clinic to all our patients, dealing with skin tags, joint injections, cautery and other similar problems, saving you a long wait and journey to be seen at hospital. Minor surgery clinics are run by Dr Siva and Dr Hamdane, and are held every Monday at the Passey Place surgery.
If you feel you need to be seen for minor surgery please arrange to see your GP first who will then be able to arrange an appointment for you if appropriate.
Child immunisations
If a vaccine is given when a baby still has antibodies to the disease, the antibodies can stop the vaccine working. This is why routine childhood immunisations do not start until a baby is two months old, before the antibodies a baby gets from its mother have stopped working.
This is also why it is important for parents to stick to the immunisation schedule, as a delay can leave a baby unprotected. A delay can increase the chance of adverse reactions to some vaccines, such as pertussis (whooping cough).
We hold a weekly baby clinic every Tuesday at the Passey Place surgery for babies to receive their first immunisations at 8 weeks, and also for mothers to have their post natal check.
Joint clinic
We hold a weekly joint clinic on a Thursday morning at Passey Place. This is run by Dr Chauhan. You will need to be referred by a clinician for this service
