You may use this service without referral from your GP.

Attends on Fridays. This service is for the over 65's and children under 19 if still in full time education. Those with special medical needs and expectant mothers can also be referred by their doctor.

Non-NHS/Private Services

Insurance Claim Forms, shotgun certificates, passport photos, etc, can be completed by your doctor, who will also undertake special medical examinations.

The cost of these, however, is not covered by the NHS and a recommended BMA charge will be made.

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.  Please note, we are not a Yellow Fever vaccination centre and do not offer this vaccine.

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.
