Surgery Pod

Have you tried our Surgery Pod?

The Surgery Pod is located in a private location within waiting area 1 and enables patients without clinical supervision, to perform their own checks such as blood pressure, weight, pulse, alcohol usage etc, which are then instantaneously updated into your patient records and can be immediately viewed by the doctors and nurses.

The Surgery Pod allows you to perform these simple checks at your own convenience, without making an appointment during our opening hours of 0800 – 1800 hours and therefore allows you to spend more high-value time with the doctor, nurse or other healthcare professional when necessary.

You no longer need to arrange appointments or attend at inconvenient times for simple checks these can now be done when it suits you. You may wish to do your BP before you go in to see the doctor or nurse or you can come in any time to use it.

What you can do on the Surgery Pod:-

• Take your blood pressure
• Take your weight and calculate your BMI
• Enter information regarding your lifestyle i.e. smoking, alcohol, exercise and diet
• Carry out a series of stress and anxiety questionnaires

It is very simple to use and on screen instructions take you through the process.  However, if you do have difficulty you can ask a member of the reception team who would be happy to help you.

All this information is entered directly into your medical notes.

So in order to help your doctor and to keep an eye on your own health visit the pod today.
