Services

We provide a full range of NHS services, which we are contracted to provide under NHS England Devon, Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Area Team. These services include maternity, contraception, minor surgery and child health surveillance services.

Patients, including new patients joining the practice, will be offered consultations for a health check as part of our programme of health promotion.

Clinical Commissioning Group (Devon CCG), of which Bow Medical Practice is a member, is responsible for buying a range of community services on your behalf. It is important that services are commissioned which reflect the needs of the local community.
