Dr Peter Bates GP Exeter is a valued member of our experienced medical team, providing professional, compassionate, and accessible healthcare. At ISCA Medical Practice, we offer a wide variety of services designed to support patients of all ages. Moreover, our goal is to provide holistic care—meeting both physical and mental health needs. Consequently, our patients receive well-rounded support throughout their healthcare journey.
Adult Vaccines and Preventive Services
We provide adult vaccines including flu, pneumonia, shingles, tetanus, and MMR boosters. Furthermore, we stay aligned with the latest NHS guidelines to ensure effective protection. Therefore, we recommend checking with us if you’re unsure about your current vaccine status. In addition, we offer travel-related immunisations.
Childhood Immunisations
Our team of qualified nurses delivers childhood vaccinations according to NHS immunisation schedules. Additionally, vaccine recommendations are updated regularly, and we make sure to follow them closely. Consequently, your child stays protected from serious diseases. Likewise, we’re always available to answer questions from concerned parents.
Chronic Disease Management
We support patients living with long-term conditions like asthma, diabetes, COPD, and hypertension. Therefore, we provide structured care plans, regular monitoring, and medication reviews. Moreover, we aim to empower patients to manage their own health more effectively. As a result, long-term wellbeing improves significantly.
Women’s Health and Contraception
Dr Peter Bates GP Exeter works alongside our team to deliver comprehensive women’s health and contraceptive care. Dr Shellock fits Nexplanon contraceptive implants, and coil fittings are arranged through the Family Planning Clinic. Furthermore, we offer personalised contraceptive counselling. Hence, patients receive the care and clarity they need to make informed decisions.
Minor Surgery and Health Screenings
Dr. Campbell runs a minor surgery clinic every few weeks for lipomas, skin tags, and other small lesions. Likewise, NHS Health Checks are carried out every Tuesday by Celia, our healthcare assistant. Consequently, these services help detect health issues early. In addition, they support preventive care and long-term health awareness.
Mental Health and Crisis Support
Mental wellbeing is a critical part of our practice. Therefore, we connect patients with TalkWorks for support with anxiety, depression, and stress. Additionally, urgent support is always available via Samaritans, NHS 111, or the practice. Despite how overwhelming things may feel, you are not alone—support is here.
Online Services and Prescription Requests
Manage your healthcare more easily using our secure online system. Moreover, our admin team is happy to help if you’re new to the platform. As a result, you can book appointments and order repeat prescriptions at your convenience.
Pregnancy Advice and Travel Clinics
Whether you’re pregnant or planning to travel, we’re here to help. For pregnancy, early GP appointments ensure a healthy start. Conversely, for travel, we offer vaccinations and antimalarial advice. In addition, early planning allows time for multiple vaccine doses, if needed.
