• Maternity services - our midwives run an antenatal clinic at the surgery every Thursday between 09.30 - 13.00 and Fridays between 13:00- 16:00
• Minor surgery - Some of our doctors are able to perform a variety of minor surgical procedures such as removal of cysts, moles, and joint injections. Minor surgery appointments can only be booked after discussion with your GP.
• Smoking cessation
• Vaccinations and immunisations - including flu and travel (not Yellow Fever)

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make a telephone 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.
