HEALTH PROMOTION

Many illnesses can be prevented through healthy living.  Remember you are responsible for your own health. Appointments can be made with any of our practice nurses to discuss your concerns.

PRIVATE MEDICAL EXAMINATION AND FEES

Medical examinations such as elderly driver, insurance medicals, HGV and employment medicals are not included under the NHS.

Please see the receptionist who will advise you of the fee involved.  Appointments will be arranged with the doctor via reception.  There are also fees for private medical reports and certificates.  The current list of fees is on display in the waiting room.

Travel Information

Travel chats and immunisations are available by appointment with the nurse at Locks Road and Whiteley Surgery.  Please ensure you make this appointment at least eight weeks before travel.

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
Carribean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible -  at least 8 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.

Most travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge.  This is because travel vaccination is not included in the services provided by the NHS and therefore is a chargeable service.
