Travel Advice & Vaccinations

The Practice aims to provide patients with appropriate advice on health matters relating to holidays abroad, and to offer immunisation where required.  Please note that there will be a charge made at the Practice for particular immunisations.

Well before your planned holiday (at least 8 weeks), please ask for a Travel Questionnaire, or alternatively click on the the link below, (which will allow you to complete and/or print off the form). Please complete the form and return it to the practice. The Practice Nurse will contact you and if you require immunisations, the Practice Nurse will arrange the necesssary prescriptions.  Some vaccines require private prescriptions, please collect these from reception and pay the required fee, if applicable, and then take the prescription to the Pharmacy.

Please note:  There will be a charge for certain immunisations, which reflects the complexity of the immunisations and the work involved. which are not normally available on the NHS.  There will be a charge at the Pharmacist for certain immunisations, which are not normally available under the NHS (see travel clinic form for details).  Charges do not relate to a patients age or income.

Please collect the medication from the Pharmacy just before your Travel Clinic appointment, and keep it cool until you are seen.

At the appointment (more than one may be required) the Practice Nurse will give you written travel advice information for your destination as well as performing the immunisation.  A record of your immunisations will be kept in your medical notes

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
• Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
• Private sick notes
• Vaccination certificates

The fees charged are reviewed regularly and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.

Some private work requires specific tests or facilities.  We sometimes have to decline private work for this reason.

Private work is normally done for the convenience of our own patients and we reserve the right to refuse this work for those not registered with the Practice.
