CLINICS
TRAVEL VACCINES
AND ADVICE
The nurses are able to offer current
travel advice re vaccinations necessary to visit other countries. Vaccines recommended
by the NHS are readily available.
Also available if required, and subject to a fee, are the following:
Hepatitis A and B, Japanese Encephalitis, rabies vaccine, meningitis vaccine (for
travellers) and malaria tablets.
MEDICALS
The doctors are often requested to
do medical checks for patients. These are in addition to their normal consultancy
hours and therefore are fitted in by the doctors, usually before a normal surgery.
Please telephone well in advance to book a medical so that convenient times can
be arranged. Please also enquire whether a fee is payable. Insurance medicals
are usually paid for by the insurance companies.
PATIENTS
OVER 75 YEARS OF AGE
If they have not had cause to attend the surgery within the last year, patients
over the age of 75 years can request a health check, which will be carried out
by a nurse. Please advise the receptionists when requesting a health check so
that they can allow sufficient time with the nurse, and tell you what you need
to bring with you.
DIETETICS
An NHS Dietician attends at the surgery weekly on Thursday
mornings.
