Advice & Links
The Patient Advice section is intended to provide basic advice and links on a range of common conditions. Some of the pages are intended to help you following a diagnosis from your doctor or nurse whilst other pages offer advice on everyday illness such as coughs and colds.
If you suspect you may be suffering from a serious condition that has not been diagnosed, don’t delay, make an appointment to see your GP.
Although Pipeland Medical Practice endeavors to regularly review our links we cannot accept responsibility for the content of external sites and would like to respectfully remind you to review the source of any medical information you read online.
