A Well baby clinic is available Thursdays between 2pm and 3:15pm at Robin’s Children’s Health Centre, Heelands, Glovers Lane, MK13 7QL.

Home visits and child development screening by appointment only.

We have a team of community nurses who provide skilled nursing care for patients who are housebound or have a specific need which makes a home visit essential. In order to provide you with the best care, the nursing team may refer you to other appropriate agencies.

They are available from Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.

Watling Street Practice is pleased to announce the introduction of a Long-Term Conditions clinic for patients registered @ Stony Stratford and @ Shenley Church End (@ Great Holm currently use this process).  This aims to improve the care we provide for patients with long term conditions by moving away from a reactive, disease-focused, fragmented model of care towards one that is more proactive, holistic and preventive.

From August 2024 we will implement a new system calling in our patients for annual reviews of their long-term conditions. The change aims to improve the service we offer and avoid duplication of tests which often creates unnecessary anxiety. The system will group all your appointments into one extended appointment with a Healthcare Assistant; during this appointment they will complete an array of different tests and examinations depending on your personal combination of conditions. The results will then be reviewed by a GP who will decide if you need a follow up appointment which may be with a specialist nurse/clinical pharmacist or GP for review. You may not always be required to come in for a second appointment as your condition may be stable/well controlled

You will be called each year on the month of your date of birth.  If you have multiple conditions, then instead of receiving multiple invites throughout the year to attend surgery you will receive one invite.  The message will have instructions on how to book your appointment.

Should you not book an appointment after your first invitation you will be sent another reminder invitation.  Should you not respond to the invites then the GP will review your notes to decide if it is safe for you to continue your medications without any monitoring or reviews. 

We appreciate in this initial change over year you may be invited for an appointment before a full year has elapsed since your last review.  We would encourage you to try and attend so that we can spread our reviews over the year and create a system that runs smoothly in the future.  If you cannot attend during your birth month as you will be out of the country for a time or for any other reason, then please let us know and we may be able to change your review date from your birth month.  If you feel you have had a very recent review or that you have regular reviews at the hospital, then please contact us and let us know and a GP can review you notes and decide if you need a review or if it needs postponing to a later month.  If you let us know of any problems, then we can try and correct any errors and try to adjust to accommodate you rather than ignoring the invitations.

Some conditions such as diabetes and people with a reduced renal function identified on previous tests (also known as chronic kidney disease) may require blood tests at 3, 6 or 9 months also.  These people will be invited for an interim review which will be an initial blood test only. 

Depending on your condition you will be required to have different tests and examinations.
