The nurse is involved in a wide range of practice services:

• Health Promotion - e.g. diet, weight, exercise, smoking
• Well Woman Clinic
• Cervical Screening - all women age 25-64 years will be invited as part of the National Cervical Screening Programme.
• Blood Pressure Checks
• Blood Testing
• Diabetes Monitoring
• Asthma and COPD Monitoring
• ECG Recording
• Dressings
• Ear Syringing
• Removal of Stitches
• 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

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

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.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.

Non-NHS Services

Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:

• Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements (HGV, PSV etc.)  On hold at the moment due to COVID-19
• Insurance claim forms
• Passport signing
• Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
• Private sick notes
• Vaccination certificates

The fees charged are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.
