A Member of the clerical team will initially take your details. A senior clinician will contact you within 24 hours to discuss your problem, give you appropriate advice, and where necessary book you to come in for a face to face assessment. Most musculoskeletal problems are best managed by physiotherapists and it has been shown that early intervention can stop a problem becoming a long term issue. 

Travel Vaccinations

Please note we are not a travel clinic. If you require any further vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to contact a local travel clinc. 

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.

Travel Health Questionnaire

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.
