Travel Advice/Vaccination

The practice offers a comprehensive service through the practice nurses. Please note you will need to contact the surgery at least 4 weeks prior to travel. If you need travel vaccinations within 2 weeks of travel it is quite unlikely that an appointment will be available here at the surgery. If that is the case we would recommend that you contact the Travel Health Clinic in Nottingham on 0115846 8880. Please note that the clinic does charge for this service. More information is available on the above tab.

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.

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 - ideally 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.

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.

Travel Health Questionnaire

 Travel Form

Travelling in Europe

If you are travelling to Europe the EU has published useful information for travellers on the European website.

Non-NHS Services

Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:

• Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements (HGV, PSV etc.)
• Insurance claim forms
• Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
• Private sick notes
• Vaccination certificates

The fees charged are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.

Any requests for information have to be put in writing and given to the Secretary, this is then passed onto the GP to deal with.  

Test Results

On average please allow 5 working days for your test results to come back from the hospital unless your doctor has advised otherwise. Please note that X-ray results take a little longer, usually 7-10 days. You will then be advised whether you need to book a follow up appointment with the GP.

For your test results please telephone the surgery between 11:00 and 15:00.

Sometimes, we cannot always give full results over the phone. If the result is complicated, or if the doctor wants to see you about the result, we will offer you an appointment. We will only give results to the person who has had the test or a third party with your permission.
