Non-NHS Work

Patients requiring GPs to do non-NHS work, e.g. private sick notes, medical examinations, reports, and claim forms etc. will be charged. An up to date list of charges is displayed in the foyer. Fees paid for work undertaken are non-refundable.

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you will be asked to complete a travel questionnaire, available at bottom of this page or from reception. Please complete the form and return it to reception.

The Practice Nurse will review the information you have provided and either arrange for you to have an appointment for vaccinations or give you travel advice.

It is important to submit the travel questionnaire at least 4 weeks before you travel - as a some vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Vaccines should be given at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Further travel health information for people going abroad is available online, click on the links below:

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Caribbean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

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 provided free of charge by the NHS.
