Services And Clinics

Adult Immunisation - by appointment
Tetanus and polio vaccinations are available from the practice nurse. Travel clinics are run by the nurses. Flu vaccinations are available each autumn and are recommended for all those over 65 or for patients of all ages who have heart disease, asthma or diabetes. Pneumococcal vaccinations are also available throughout the year.

Antenatal Clinics - by appointment

The midwife holds weekly clinics and Dr Babu holds a booking-in clinic also.

Child Surveillance - by appointment

The doctors are available for the six-week baby check. Childhood vaccinations are now given at two, three and four months. These protect small babies from infections like polio and whooping cough, HIB Meningitis C and pneumonia.

Pre-school immunisations are given from 3 years 3 months of age. The only reasons for delaying injections are if your child has an Acute illness or has reacted very badly to a previous vaccination.

Cervical Smears - by appointment

Cervical smears can be arranged for women of any age with either a practice nurse or doctor (female if preferred) and are particularly advised for women between the ages of 25 and 65 years - every three years for those under 50 and ever five years for those aged 50-64. Please bring a urine sample with you.

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 - 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.

Who should get the flu vaccine?

This year the flu vaccine is being offered on the NHS to:

• adults 65 and over (including anyone who will be 65 by the 31st March 2021)
• people with certain medical conditions (including children in at-risk groups from 6 months of age)
• pregnant women
• CARERS - including people living with someone who's at high risk from coronavirus (on the NHS shielded patient list)
• children aged 2 and 3 can book appointments from 15th September 2020
• children in primary school (note: these vaccines are available via the school ONLY)
• children in year 7 (secondary school) (note: these vaccines are available via the school ONLY)
• frontline health or social care workers

I am aged 50-64, am I also now eligible?

• Later in the year, the flu vaccine is expected to be able to be given to people aged 50 to 64.
• More information will be available to the 50-64 ‘newly eligible’ patients later in the autumn and until then Flu appointments are only being opened up to be booked by those patients who were already eligible. We have to prioritise vaccine stock for the most vulnerable patients first.
• If you're aged 50 to 64 but also in another at-risk group, you should book for your flu vaccine and not wait (bookings start from 1st September).
• If you’re aged 50 to 64 and were not already in an at risk group, please ensure the practice has a correct mobile number for you, as details will be sent by text about the availability of additional vaccines later in the season.
• Patients under 65 on the High Risk Registers will be invited as soon as we have delivery of the appropriate vaccines.

How to decline:

• If you already know that you don’t want a flu vaccine at all please call to tell us. You could also email to decline if that’s easier so that your vaccine can be offered to someone else who needs it: This year more than ever, this is very important as vaccines supplies are expected to be in extremely high demand.
