The practice nurse offers travel advice and some immunisations. It's recommended you see the practice nurse approximately 2 months before you travel, so that adequate protection can be achieved.

Some vaccinations required for travel abroad are not given in practice and you will be advised to contact a Travel Clinic, see NHS Choices at www.nhs.uk for more information. 

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you should complete a form, available from reception or download a  Travel Vaccination Patient Questionnaire

This will then be passed to the practice nurse to check your requirements, You should then contact us to check if you need an appointment for travel vaccinations.

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.

Non-NHS Services

• Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements (HGV, PSV etc.)
• Insurance claim forms
• Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
• Private sick notes
• Vaccination certificates

The fees charged are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.
 

Accessible Information Standard
We would also like to know if you have any communication needs or sensory impairment, such as hearing or visual difficulties. We can then provide information about our practice and other NHS services in a format that is accessible to you. Please inform us during your next visit to the practice.

Access
The health centre has been designed to take wheelchairs and has facilities for the disabled.  If you require any assistance please telephone the surgery for advice or ask at reception.

Risk profiling is a new NHS service that will help your GP spot whether you might need early treatment or care

Your health information will be profiled in a local NHS data warehouse and the results will be seen only by your GP

This information will then be used to offer those patients who may need it, the opportunity to discuss their health and access all available services

If you object to your information being used in this way, or have any other concerns, please contact the Practice Manager: Mrs Pat Foster
