Services and Support from Dr Don M Welikele GP Brighton

We offer Chronic Disease Clinics focused on long-term conditions such as asthma, COPD, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. These clinics include annual reviews, which are essential to keeping your health in check. Consequently, they help detect issues early and improve your quality of life.

In addition, we send direct invitations for these check-ups. Please respond promptly to maintain your care schedule and stay on top of your condition.

Immunisations and General Health Checks

Child immunisations are provided every Wednesday afternoon. These appointments help protect your child from preventable illnesses.

Similarly, we offer an Over-75s Health Check that includes your height, weight, and blood pressure. This check supports early detection of potential health risks. Furthermore, the NHS Lifestyle Check is available for patients aged 40 to 74 who do not already have a chronic illness. This review includes a fasting blood test and general health assessment every five years.

Blood Testing and Female Health Services

Our phlebotomy clinics run each weekday morning. However, tests must be pre-authorised by a GP or hospital consultant. In contrast, we do not provide blood tests for children under 12. Instead, these are available at the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital.

Cytology (Smear Tests) are available for women aged 25 to 65. Ideally, these should be booked mid-cycle. Once you receive an NHS reminder, please contact the practice to make your appointment.

Additional Services with Dr Don M Welikele GP Brighton

We offer Cryotherapy Clinics for wart treatment once a month. However, a GP or nurse practitioner must first confirm this treatment is suitable for you.

Additionally, we carry out stitch removal and wound dressings. As a result, patients experience seamless follow-up care in a familiar and supportive setting.
