Smoking Cessation

Travel Clinic

Specialist advice/immunisation for travel to all areas of the world can be provided by our trained practice nurses. We are a registered yellow Fever Clinic. If possible, please contact the practice nurse two months before your date of travel as some vaccinations take time to work and need a course of treatment.

There may be a charge for some vaccines.

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.

Most travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge.  This is because travel vaccination is not included in the services provided by the NHS and therefore is a chargeable service.

Test Results

Results of most blood tests will usually be available after two working days. Scan and x-ray reports are not usually available until two weeks after the test was performed.

We can only give results to the person on whom the test was performed. Test results will not be given to other family members unless they are for a child.

We would be grateful if you could request your results after 1pm when the surgery is less busy. We are not able to email results directly to you as we wish to ensure that your confidentiality is maintained.
