Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is provided for all our patients by Western
Cheshire Primary Care Trust at the Countess of Chester
Health Park..
The Physiotherapists are being trained on to use our
computerised appointment system. We hope to encourage
further computer use, especially in recording treatment
outcomes and the effectiveness of physiotherapy.
The Physiotherapists have held back pain meetings in
the practice to educate and inform us about this complaint,
which causes the greatest sickness absence within any
workforce and generates a lot of referrals constantly.
Mental Health
The practice has worked closely with the PCT in order
to improve the delivery of Mental Health Services across
the city and for the benefit of our patients at City
Walls. Click here to access self help leaflets.

Family Planning
City Walls runs a hugely successful Family Planning
Clinic every Wednesday evening, this is led by Dr Hughes, Dr Greensill
and the Nurse Manager, together with our practice nurses
and with receptionist back-up. We have been approved
as a Family Planning Training Centre for other GPs and
Nurses. There is a great deal of care, patient education
and delivery of an effective service being provided
at this clinic. By offering a drop in service at this
weekly clinic in addition to the booked appointments,
we feel that we are achieving reduced numbers of teenage
pregnancies as detailed in the NHS plan.
Chronic Disease Clinics
The Practice Nurses are delivering services
to our patients through effective clinic sessions listed
below:
Diabetes, Respiratory,
Chronic Heart Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease.
Recall systems are in place to allow us to contact
all the patients with the above conditions, through
our
excellent computer coding systems.
Minor Surgery
City Walls offers regular Minor Surgery Clinics and
we use our own in-house Dermatology clinics for expert
opinions on all Minor Surgery. Dr Shanahan, as well
as being a clinical assistant in Dermatology for the
Countess of Chester, is also a GPwSI Dermatology in
the community dermatology service and the practice
can
make referrals direct to him and also to Dr Daniel
Jones who offers minor surgery.
