If you have any questions regarding your child's immunisation please direct them to one of our reception team.

MEN Acwy 

If you are about to attend University please book in for your meningitis vaccination. Call 01509 263018 to book in to see Nurse Marjan. 

Travel Clinics

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. It is important to make your initial appointment as early as possible, at least six to eight weeks before travelling as a second appointment may be required with the nurse to actually receive the vaccination. The second appointment should be at least two weeks prior to travel to allow the vaccines to work.

You will be required to complete a travel form prior to your appointment and this can be downloaded from the tab or is available at reception.

There may be a fee associated with some vaccinations. The nurse will inform you of any fees during your initial consultation. 

Cervical Screening

Women aged 25-45 will be invited for examination every three years and women over 45 will be invited every five years. 

Contraception

The surgery offers both Coil (IUCD) and Nexplanon Implant (formerly Implanon) fitting. Please book an appointment with a doctor to discuss your contraceptive choices. If you decide you would like either a Coil or Implant fitted please talk to one of our receptionists to book an appointment.

A doctor and nurse led clinic is held every Wednesday morning for annual reviews of patients with diabetes. The practice nurse also completes sixth month patient checks on an appointment basis. An invitation to attend for your diabetic appointment will be sent out automatically.
