Diagnostic Services – X-Ray and Ultrasound

We are delighted with our Siemens digital x-ray machine which has been in operation since July 2008. The X-Ray is managed by the Radiology unit at the West Suffolk Hospital. We also have a state of the art ultrasound machine, also managed by the West Suffolk Hospital. We are able to accept referrals from neighbouring practices for both of these services.

These are normally taken every 3 or 5 years by a nurse.

Tetanus

The full course of the tetanus vaccination consists of five doses. The first three doses are given during early childhood. This is followed by two booster doses, first is given at around four years of age, the second one is given 10 years later. After the full course, you should have lifelong immunity against tetanus. However, if you or your child has a deep wound, it’s best to get medical advice.
