Clinics & Services

We provide a personal and confidential service when you are not well and try to keep you in better health through various health promotion activities. We are also responsible for the planned care of any long-term illnesses you may have.

We offer the following clinics:

Services For Children

Child Health Surveillance Clinics are held every Monday Morning between 11:15am and 12:15pm for 6 to 8 week baby checks. You can discuss your child’s feeding or other problems with the doctor or the nurse in clinic. You are advised to ensure maximum protection from disease by Immunisation and Vaccination.

Suggestions and Comments

All constructive comments on improving the service are welcome.  Please speak to the Practice Manager or use the online 'Suggestions and Comments' form on the 'Contact Us' page.

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to complete the Travel Questionnaire below and submit to the practice nurse.  This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

Please contact surgery approx 5 working days after submitting your Travel Questionnaire to see if an appointment with the Practice Nurse is necessary.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Caribbean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

It is important to submit the Travel Questionnaire as early as possible - at least 8 weeks before you travel - as an appointment may be required with the practice nurse if vaccinations are necessary and to allow required time for the Nurse to receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. You need to contact surgery approx 5 working days after submitting your Travel Questionnaire to find out if an appointment with the Practice Nurse is necessary and your appointment needs to be at least 6 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.

Travelling in Europe

If you are travelling to Europe a very useful booklet has been published with advice and guidance to help you get the most out of your holiday. To visit please click:- http://ec.europa.eu/publications/booklets/eu_glance/86/en.pdf (this is a large document and may take a minute or two to view)

Non NHS Services

Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:

• Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements (HGV, PSV etc.)
• Insurance claim forms
• Passport signing
• 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.
