Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to fill in the form detailing where and when you are travelling.  You will then need to telephone the surgery at least 24 hours later and speak to the receptionist who should be able to advise you which vaccinations you need and whether there is a charge for them.  She will also be able to make you an appointment with the practice nurse.  

Information about countries and vaccinations required can be found 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 the initial appointment as early as possible  - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as sometimes a second appointment will be required.  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.

Travel Health Questionnaire

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form and telephone the surgery two days later and the reception staff will advise if you need any vaccinations.

Sickness Certificates

You do not require a doctor's sickness certificate for any illness lasting seven days or less. Your employer may however require you to complete a self-certification form (SC2) which is available from your employer, or there is a link on the right hand side of our website or on the HMRC website.

For any illness lasting longer than seven days you will need to see the doctor for him/her to issue a sickness certificate (F.med3) and for any subsequent renewal of the certificate. If your employer insists on a sickness certificate for 7 days or less a charge will be levied.
