Clinics & Services

We are here essentially to care for you when you are unwell or think you might be. So, please feel free to contact us if you think you need our help.

In addition we offer the following services to help specific groups of people:

Chronic Disease Management

Our practice nurses are trained and experienced in review of patients with chronic medical conditions. We recommend you have an appointment with our nurse if you suffer from High Blood Pressure, Coronary heart disease, Stroke, Epilepsy, Diabetes, Asthma, COPD, or Chronic Kidney Disease. This should help to keep you healthier inspite of your existing illness and to prevent further complications, events or worsening of your illness.

If you wish to have help and guidance about stopping smoking please make an appointment with our nurse who will assist you.

We offer family planning services.  This includes fitting of IUCDs and emergency contraception.

Chlamydia Screening

We recommend chlamydia screening for everyone in the age range of 16 to 25 years if you are sexually active. It is done by sending a urine sample to hospital laboratory. This is part of a national campaign for detection and treatment of chlamydia infection. Please make an appointment with our practice nurse if you wish to be screened for chlamydia.

Travel Information

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
Carribean	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.

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.

Travel Questionnaire

Yellow Fever Vaccination

We can now an official offer yellow fever vaccination. This vaccination is an entry requirement for a number of Central and South American countries as well as many Sub-Saharan African countries.  Please book an appointment with our nurse about 10 days before entering an area of risk, so as to allow full immunity to develop. For more travel information, please feel free to book a travel advice appointment approximately 6 weeks before travelling.

We currently charge £35.00 for yellow fever vaccination.  Yellow fever vaccine is not provided by the NHS.

Non NHS Services

A number of medical examinations, reports including HGV/LGV, taxi and PSV's, insurance forms and certificates are not available on the NHS, but may be provided by the GPs privately for a fee. These may be requested via the receptionist, who will inform you of the relevant charge.
