• Travel Advice and Vaccinations - patients wishing to travel to a foreign country please collect a travel form from the reception desk for completion and return to the Practice. You will be contacted with information of any vaccination/advice required. Please make an appointment for the administration of any vaccines at least 6 weeks before your date of travel. Not all travel vaccines are available on the NHS.

Travel Vaccinations

Until very recently, the surgery has offered a full travel vaccination service, but we will no longer be providing this .  It is now your responsibility to assess what vaccinations you will require for your trip.  Advice can be found at:

"Fit for Travel" website http://www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/destinations

You will be able to get all the advice you require to make an informed choice regarding the vaccinations you will require.  Some vaccinations are free of charge on the NHS.

The vaccinations which are available on the NHS are:

• Diptheria/Tetanus/Polio (combined)
• Hepatitis A
• Typhoid

These can be prescribed and administered by a nurse at the surgery if needed.

Other vaccinations , possibly required for more exotic or unusual destinations, complex travel itineraries, or long stay vacations , will have to be sourced from a travel clinic (available in most pharmacies).  There will be a charge for these.  If you would rather have all of your vaccinations done at these clinics, they can also give the above vaccines, but they will charge for these. 

We strongly advise that you check your requirements at least 3 months before travel, as sometimes a course of up to 3 vaccinations need to be given over the course of several weeks.

More info can be found on our "New Travel Vaccination Policy" on the link below, there is also a tear off slip if you require any of the vaccinations provided by the NHS and return to the surgery, where your prescription and appointment will be generated.

Thank you

• Insurance claim forms
• Passport signing
• Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
• Private sick notes

 Croyard Medical Practice COVID-19 Vaccinations

PLEASE CAN YOU MAKE SURE YOUR CONTACT DETAILS ARE CORRECT. 

We are delighted to announce Croyard Road Surgery’s next vaccine clinic. If you are 40-49 you should expect to receive a letter sent to your home with an invitation to attend the BLACK ISLE SHOWGROUND on Thursday 27th May. The invitation will have a TIME to attend. Please do your best to stick to this time to avoid confusion at the venue. If by Monday 24th May you have yet to receive a letter, and registered with Croyard Road please contact us at the Practice. More details on how to enter and exit the Showground will follow. This will primarily be a drive through clinic - some walk in capacity will be available, depending on the weather. Thank you for all your patience - we have had to take some time to organise the staff and resources needed to offer a clinic this size to our patients. Apologies if some felt “missed” out - if all goes well all eligible patients in phase one will have been offered a first dose vaccine by the 31st March. I hope this clarifies any concerns people had regarding the timing of vaccination. Thanks once again to the Black Isle Showground team for allowing use of the venue.

PLEASE BE PATIENT

THANK YOU
