We offer the full range of services available under the NHS; free at the point of delivery. Some services, however, such as insurance medicals or Certificates of Fitness to Travel, are not covered by the National Health Service. Please enquire at Reception for information on the current fees.

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.

Information about countries and vaccinations required can be found on the links below:

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

It is important to make the 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.

Sickness Certificates

onlinehealthcare You do not require a Doctor's Sickness Certificate for any illness lasting seven days or less. Your employer may however require you to complete a self-certification form (SC2) which is available from your employer or at our reception or on the HMRC website.

For any illness lasting longer than seven days you will need to see the Doctor for him/her to issue a Sickness Certificate (F.med3) and for any subsequent renewal of the certificate. If your employer insists on a Sickness Certificate for 7 days or less a charge will be levied.
