Clinics & Services

In adddition to general medical consultations we are pleased to offer special clinics and services covering the following areas:

Asthma

Diabetes

Cervical Smears - We recommend that all our female patients should have a routine smear every 3 years from age 25 - 49 and every 5 years from age 49 – 65. This can be booked with the practice nurse or one of the doctors.

Contraceptive Services and Advice

Travel Vaccinations - Our nurses offer a full advisory service for those travelling abroad. Please book in with the nurses eight weeks before you are due to travel.

Flu Vaccinations - recommended annually for everyone over 65 and patients suffering from chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, long-term steroids use and chest or kidney problems. We would also recommend carers or health care workers and all pregnant women receive the vaccination.

Child Health Surveillance - in conjunction with the health visitor.

Maternity Services 

Minor Surgery - in line with current local recommendations.

Health Checks - registered patients aged 16-74 who have not been seen for 3 years may request a consultation. Registered patients aged over 75 years who have not been seen in the last 12 months may request a consultation. If you’re unable to attend the surgery for these checks because of your medical condition a home visit may be arranged.

Annual health checks for Carers and patients with a registered  learning disability are also available.

Travel Vaccinations

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.

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 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.

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 are not covered by the NHS and therefore attract charges. These include private certificates, private letters or statements, travel or sickness insurance claim forms, medical reports and examinations for employment, solicitors use or fitness to drive. These services also require longer appointments.

Please ask at reception for more information in respect of charges and whether or not an appointment is needed with the doctor.
