Before attending our Travel Clinic you will need to complete a pre-travel questionnaire.  This will then be assessed by our Nurses and you will either receive a telephone call, an appointment or further advice from the surgery. 

The questionnaires are available from Reception.

The following vaccinations are available on the NHS:

• Hepatitis A
• Typhoid
• Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio

Letters for Airlines

Your airline or holiday operator may ask you for a letter from your GP regarding your medications.

Please note there is a £25 administration charge for these letters. We would also be grateful if you could provide as much notice as possible.

This is different to the usual repeat prescription service we offer. It is most suitable for patients who take regular repeat medicines. If your GP thinks you will benefit from this service then can authorise an agreed number of electronic repeat prescriptions (up to a year) that you can collect directly from your Pharmacy without the need to contact or visit your GP Surgery for your prescription.

When you collect your last repeat prescription your Pharmacist will inform you and you must then contact your Surgery. You may be required to have an appointment for a review, or any blood tests due before the GP will authorise a further supply of prescriptions.

Your Pharmacy will not be able to set up a repeat dispensing arrangement for you without it being authorised by a GP.

Do you need Physiotherapy?

You can now refer yourself directly to the Physiotherapy Service if you are aged 16 and over. This means you do not have to visit your GP first, unless you wish to do so, or have recently had an operation related to the problem area. This service is provided free by the NHS on your behalf.

Not sure if Physiotherapy is right for you?

Physiotherapy can be particularly beneficial if you are suffering from any of the following:

• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Recent injuries
• Joint and muscular pain
• Strains and sprains

Physiotherapists specialise in the assessment and treatment of problems related to the bones, joints and soft tissues. The Physiotherapist will ask you more about your symptoms, perform a physical examination and then agree the most effective course of treatment to achieve your goals. The service offers a range of treatment modalities to include advice and education, manual therapy and exercise prescription.

On referral to the service you will be asked to commit to attending all sessions and participate fully with the agreed treatment plan in order to achieve the best possible outcome.

To refer yourself please complete a self-referral form which is available at Reception.
