Travel Advice & Vaccinations
Our Practice is a registered yellow fever centre. A charge will be made for this and other holiday vaccines not covered by the NHS. Please allow at least eight weeks before travelling to contact the Practice Nurse regarding your vaccinations. Before making your appointment, please complete a travel immunisation form, which is available at reception or by downloading the form from our website.
Medical Certificates
A self-certificate is required for absence of less than seven days duration. Your employer will be able to provide this certificate. If you are off work for seven or more days, you will need to contact your Doctor to get the appropriate certificate.
Non-NHS Examinations
Medical examinations and certificates for special purposes (e.g. pre-employment, HGV, elderly drivers, fitness to undertake sport or travel, insurance examinations) are performed at special times. Please inform the Receptionist when making an appointment. A fee will be payable. A list of fees are displayed in reception.
Specialist Elderly Care
Patients aged 75 and over are invited to attend an annual health check with our Elderly Care Specialist Nurse. If patients also have medical conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease or respiratory disease, they will have their conditions reviewed at this appointment.
