Chronic Disease Monitoring

Conditions needing regular follow up are monitored by our nursing team. You may be sent letters requesting that you attend the hospital for blood tests and appointments arranged with our nurses. Please respond promptly to these requests and should you be unable to attend the appointments contact reception to arrange for a more convenient time.

Children’s Immunisations

Are held every Thursday between 10:30 – 11:30. Appointments are sent out by Child Health at Upton Hospital, however you can turn up at this clinic without an appointment.

Family Planning Service

Is provided by family planning trained nurses, during normal surgery hours. We also offer IUD and Implanon fitting with our GP colleagues at Langley Health Centre

Cervical Screening

Travel Vaccinations

Up to the minute information is available on all your travel medical needs and we provide most of the common vaccines. The nurse holds travel clinics on Wednesday afternoons.

Should you be unable to attend the surgery clinic there is a service at The Travel Clinic, Princess Margaret Hospital, Telephone no. 01753 743271

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.
