Medicals (HGV, Insurance etc)

This is a private service provided by the doctors. This service is provide by the doctors and is by appointment only. Paperwork and full payment (non- refundable) is required when booking the appointment. These appointments are in great demand and there is usually a waiting list. Therefore, if payment and paperwork is not received at least 1 week prior to the appointment date, the appointment will be cancelled and offered to the next person on the list.

Minor Surgery and Joint Injections

Minor operations and some joint injections can be performed by the doctors. Please discuss this with your doctor who will arrange for you to be put on the waiting list. An appointment will be sent to you in due course. However, many minor procedures which were previously available are no longer funded on the NHS. This includes removal of skin tags, warts, spider veins and moles.

Travel Immunisations

We can provide the full range of advice and vaccinations to meet your travel requirements. We will provide you with a Travel questionnaire which should be completed and returned to the practice nurse in plenty of time, before you are planning to travel abroad, as some vaccination courses can need up to a month to be effective. Very few vaccinations for travel purposes are free on the NHS. Please refer to our Vaccination Fees on the notice board in the waiting area. Payment for vaccinations for travel is required in full before the vaccinations are given.

You can also download our Travel questionnaire and find out more information on required immunisations and further advice from the Fit for Travel site (link opens in a new window).

Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre

We are a registered Yellow Fever Centre and are able to offer this service to travellers, whether or not they are registered with the practice. Full payment is required before vaccination is given. You will need to bring your passport with you to your appointment.
