Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment for a telephone consultation 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.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

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

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. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Most travel vaccines are free, however there are some that you need to pay for. Please ask your nurse which vaccines are payable at the time of your telephone consultation. All payable vaccines must be paid for at the time of the 1st face to face consultation.

Travelling in Europe

If you are travelling to Europe a very useful booklet has been published with advice and guidance to help you get the most out of your holiday. To visit please click:- http://ec.europa.eu/publications/booklets/eu_glance/86/en.pdf (this is a large document and may take a minute or two to view)

The practice provides routine screening at 8 weeks of age to all our youngest patients. This will coincide with the first immunisations and the routine postnatal consultation. This examination forms part of the programme of health checks offered by the Health Visitors and ourselves.

You will be sent a letter with the date to bring your child for his/her first check and for his/her first immunisations. We are keen that all our young patients should be fully protected.

Family Planning services are provided by all the doctors and Sisters Hardy and Purdy. We are happy to advise on all contraception and women's health needs including coil fitting and contraceptive implants.

Routine cervical screening in this area is undertaken according to National Guidelines. Smears are performed by Sisters Hardy and Purdy. When booking an appointment please inform the receptionist that a smear is to be done.
