Some services provided fall outside the scope of the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:
Our reception staff will be happy to advise you about appointment availability and applicable charges.
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.
To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.
The Travel Vaccination Consent form must be completed and brought to your first appointment with the Practice Nurse. Your vaccination may be delayed if this is not available.
Please advise Reception staff that your appointment is for travel vaccinations as this type of appointment is usually 20 minutes.
If you are travelling to Europe the EU has published useful information for travellers on the European website.

Our reception staff will be happy to give you more information on the dates and times of the various clinics.
