A full range of contraceptive services is available (eg pill, cap, intra-uterine device, implants) by appointment at reception.  We also provide advice on safer sex and abortion - all these are in strict confidence. Young people can also discuss teenage sexual health by appointment at the weekly family planning clinics held at Rothwell and Desborough.

We have a phlebotomy outreach service from Kettering General Hospital for five mornings per week. Rothwell – Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday and Desborough on a Wednesday.

Blood tests with the phlebotomist must be booked in advance. We do not offer a walk in service.

Patients under the age of 16 will not been seen by an outreach phlebotomist and will need to be seen at Kettering General Hospital. Please ensure your requesting clinician gives you all the relevant paperwork before you leave your consultation.

When a smear is due, a letter will be sent to you. You will then need to call reception and book an appointment with the practice nurse. If you wish to know more about this procedure and why we consider it advisable, you can discuss this with either your doctor or the nurse.
