Non-NHS Services
The doctors are able to complete private medical insurance claim forms and private certificates and carry out medical examinations for insurance, driving, employment and sport. These do not form part of their NHS work and therefore a fee is payable. Please ask at reception for details.

Counselling
We run a wellbeing service every Tuesday. Referral is via a doctor only.

Flu Vaccination
An influenza vaccination is particularly recommended for all at risk patients, those over 65 and anyone in an at risk group. Please contact the reception staff in September for details of the vaccination dates and to make an appointment.

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.
