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. 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, please complete the Travel Risk Assessment form below in plenty of time to arrange any necessary vaccinations.

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.

Travel Questionnaire

Please complete the form below to get more information about what travel immunisations you require. Most vaccines are given at least 2 weeks before travel, and some more complicated regimes take longer. Please try to give us prior notice (preferably 6 weeks).

Cervical Smear Tests

It is recommended that all women have regular cervical smears.

You will be notified by post when your smear is due. Smear tests can be performed by either the practice nurses or the doctors. A smear test is an essential part of any well woman check-up.

It involves a small inconvenience but it is very worthwhile as it enables us to detect early and treatable diseases of the neck of the womb.

The doctors and nurses would be happy to further discuss this test with you.
