Travel Information
Non-urgent advice: Patient Notice
DUE TO THE ONGOING PRESSURES PRESENTED BY COVID-19, AND AS MANY TRAVEL VACCINATIONS ARE A PRIVATE SERVICE, THIS SERVICE IS CURRENTLY NOT RUNNING AS NORMAL. PLEASE CONTACT THE SURGERY TO CONFIRM WHAT LEVEL OF SERVICE IS CURRENTLY BEING PROVIDED.
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to contact the surgery so that we can take some details from you. This will include dates of travel, and 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.
It is important to make this initial contact as early as possible – at least 8 weeks before you travel – as a multiple appointments across a few months may 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 final appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Unfortunately, we may reject a query if it isn’t made at least 8 weeks before travel.
Some travel vaccines are only available privately. We do not offer private travel vaccinations.
In these circumstances, you may need to go to one of the private clinics, a few of which are listed below.
Boots at Four seasons shopping centre Mansfield offer free travel health clinic advice including prescribing medication and vaccine but this will cost. You can book appt online through the boots website. The other providers are the Park Hospital 01158967878 and Regent street clinic in Nottingham, 0115 947 5498
Paediatric Surveillance
Eight week checks are performed by GPs. Baby vaccinations are also given at this time or alternative times are available if required.
Every autumn we have flu vaccine clinics. These are mainly for the elderly (over 65), immuno-compromised diabetics, those with chest problems (eg asthma and bronchitis), heart problems (eg angina), kidney problems and pregnant ladies.
There is also a vaccine called Pneumovax II available at any time against bacterial chest infections and pneumonia recommended for the same people.
Health Checks
If you’re aged 40-74 and have not been diagnosed with heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease or certain types of dementia, you are entitled to a free NHS health check. Please ask at reception or call to ask a member of our team whether you are eligible.
Chronic Disease Management
This includes diabetes, asthma, COPD, heart disease and stroke. Patients will be invited for an annual review by the Practice Nurse but can make an appointment with the Practice Nurse between these times if they have any concerns about their condition.
Family Planning
We provide advice on all aspects of birth control during surgery consultations. Please make an appointment to see a nurse for contraception advice.
Some of our GPs fit and remove coils and Implanons. Please make an appointment with one of these GPs to discuss these options.
Minor Injuries
Minor injuries such as sprains, bumps and minor cuts can be seen at the practice. Please call and ask for an appointment with a GP. We may direct patients to 111, A&E, or Pharmacies if our appointments are booked to capacity at the time of calling.
