If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the form and return it to the practice before coming to see the nurse.

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible – at least 6 weeks before you travel – as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

Further Information

The following websites will give you additional travel advice.

Some of the services we provide for our patients are not provided free of charge on the NHS, therefore these services have a fee attached to them. Please contact reception for further information or to book one of these services.

You are not obliged to attend your surgery for these and may find an alternative provider if you wish.

First Contact Physiotherapists (FCPs) are highly trained physiotherapists, usually based in GP surgeries.

FCPs have extensive experience in the assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions – such as back or neck pain – and see these patients without the need for a GP appointment. If you have bone, joint or muscle pain, you can see an FCP.

Small bumps and lumps can be removed in the Surgery under local anaesthetic. In addition we operate a Cryotherapy clinic.

Please consult your Doctor for this service.

The Practice Nurses manage a number of health promotion issues. Appointments may be made at your convenience.

We would encourage our patients thinking of starting a family to discuss this with the Doctor or Practice Nurse who are able to give specific advice about planning a pregnancy, including the use of folic acid (folate tablets).

Patients are asked to make an appointment with one of our trained Nurses at their convenience.

Please note the oral contraceptive pill is not available on a repeat prescription and patients should ensure they make their next appointment before running out of pills.
