Antenatal Care
Care for expectant mothers is
provided by the Doctors in
conjunction with a team of Midwives
from the Horton Hospital in Banbury.
We have weekly visits from The Blue
Group Midwife Team - they attend for
appointments on Monday lunch time.
If you need to see a midwife other
than this time please contact the
Horton General Hospital on 01295

Child Health
Clinics are held on the 2nd
Wednesday of each month, providing
all childhood immunisations and
developmental assessments.
Invitations will normally be sent
out when these are due.
Counselling service
The NHS in Oxfordshire now provides
counselling call 'Talking Space'. If
your GP feels that you would benefit
from this service they will advise
you accordingly. For patients
wishing to see a counsellor direct,
you can contact Maggie Witherick on

attached to Sibford Surgery as our

A full service is available during
normal surgery hours from the
Doctors and Gilian Soden. If
“morning after” contraception is
needed, you should contact the
surgery as soon as possible.
For the most effective emergency
contraception, it is advisable to
use it as soon as possible after
unprotected intercourse.

The Surgery is equipped for the
Doctors to perform minor surgical
procedures. Please see a Doctor for
an initial discussion.

information on smoking and how to
stop are invited to make an
appointment with the Smoking
Cessation Counsellor, Mrs Erica
Wimbush - Practice Nurse.
Travel Vaccinations
We provide a full range of travel
vaccinations. It is important to
find out in good time what you will
