Travel clinics

Our practice nurses are available by appointment to offer medical advice regarding travel and vaccinations where appropriate. Please telephone reception to book an appointment. Please bring with you the completed Travel Risk Assessment form to give to the nurse who will produce a personalised vaccination schedule for you.

Please be aware that there may be a charge for certain vaccinations - to check, please contact the surgery before your appointment. This can only be confirmed once the nurse has seen your questionnaire and ascertained which vaccinations are required.

DO PLAN AHEAD - do not leave your vaccinations until the last minute. 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.

admin_meds Electronic prescription service

What is the Electronic Prescription Service?

A new way to get your medicines and appliances. The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is an NHS service. The surgery can send your prescription electronically to the place you choose to get your medicines or appliances from.

What does this mean for you?

• If you get a repeat prescription, you will not have to spend your time going to your GP practice each time to pick up your paper prescription. Instead your GP will send it automatically to the place you choose, with no chance of it getting lost.
• You will have more choice about where to get your medicines from, because they can be collected from a pharmacy near to where you live, work or shop.
• You may not have to wait as long for your prescription items, as there will be time to get your repeat prescription items ready before you arrive. If any of the medicines on your prescription are out of stock, they can be ordered in ready for you.

You can read the EPS Patient Information Leaflet

When will I be able to use EPS?

This practice is now live and using this fantastic new service.
