Young Persons

This Information Point is on the first floor of the practice by the large front windows. To get to the Information Point when you enter the building, just go up the stairs or take the lift to the first floor. The stairs and lift are found through the door to the right of the front reception desk.

The Young Persons' Health Information Point is a dedicated area where you can sit down and have a read of health posters and leaflets which you can take away and there are free condoms and Chlamydia testing kits too. You don't have to ask anyone before visiting this area, but if you would like help or advice please ask a receptionist.

We would love to hear young people's views on our services so we may improve these. If you are a patient aged between 13 and 25 years old, please take a few minutes to complete the this questionnaire below (pdf document) which itself has been designed by young people.

You may send it back by:

E-mail: xanthe.dunthorne@nhs.net

Print it off and drop it in to front reception at the practice

or pick up a hard copy from reception.

Many thanks for your help.

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to have a telephone consultation with the practice nurse prior to making an appointment with the  nurse. You will need to know 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.  You can also access the fit for travel website which has a great deal of information regarding travel and vaccines

www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk

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

It is important to have this initial telephone consultation 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. 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.

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.
