Teenagers
Teenagers are welcome to see any doctor, nurse or Health Visitor
they wish. We are happy talk about any aspect of your health that
concerns you. In small communities there is often a worry about your
health being gossiped about. You
can be sure that all consultations are entirely confidential.
Acne, Anxiety, contraception issues, growing and
developing, drugs and alcohol, anything can be discussed. There is
no such thing as a silly question.
