Travel vaccinations
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse at least 6 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work. You can do this by contacting reception either in person or over the telephone.
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.
The NHS recommend the following websites for further information:
You can check your vaccination history by using the NHS App. We can also provide a print out of your vaccination history for your records.
Malaria tablets are available to purchase at your local pharmacist.
Private work
The government’s contract with GPs covers medical services to NHS patients, including the provision of ongoing medical treatment. In recent years, more and more organisations have been involving doctors in a whole range of non-medical work. Sometimes the only reason that GPs are asked is because they are in a position of trust in the community, or because an insurance company or employer wants to ensure that information provided to them is true and accurate.
The BMA (British Medical Association) suggest fees for non-NHS work which is not covered under the NHS GP contract. The fees are guidelines only, not recommendations, and a doctor is not obliged to charge the rates suggested. The BMA recommends that GPs tell patients and third parties in advance if they will be charged, and how much. It is up the individual doctor to decide how much to charge.
Examples of non-NHS work include, but are not limited to:
- private sick notes
- insurance forms
- holiday cancellation forms
- medical reports
- fFitness to travel certificates
- private prescriptions
- passport signing
- some vaccination services
Pricing is available on request. Please speak to our reception team for more information.
