For patients who are due an annual asthma review.

All women between the age of 20 and 65 should have a regular smear test every three to five years. We send out appointment reminders to all of our patients to let you know when your next smear is due.

We send out appointments for regular checks and immunisations for pre-school children. This is to make sure that our doctors and health visitors can check that children are developing normally and that there’s nothing to worry about.

Our doctors and nurses give confidential advice on all aspects of family planning.

We offer routine vaccinations and general advice to our patients travelling abroad.

It may take up to eight weeks for a full course of vaccinations, so please contact us in advance to give you plenty of time if you’re planning to go abroad where you need to be vaccinated.

JANUARY 2025: Our Travel Questionnaire is temporarily under construction. Please do not use as it will not get to us. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. 

Some services available are not covered under our contract with the NHS. This means that these services need to be paid for.

The services that include charges are:

• Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements.
• Insurance claim forms.
• Prescriptions for taking medication abroad.
• Private sick notes.
• Vaccination certificates.

Our reception staff and GPs will be happy to talk through the charges with you during your appointment.

Please contact us regarding your travel plans so we can get a questionnaire to you.

Our doctors are frequently asked to provide private or ‘To Whom it May Concern’ letters or reports for third parties. The preparation of these letters or reports is not covered by the NHS and the doctor must complete them during their own time and as such there is a fee payable (£20). This fee is payable at the time of the request, if however the letter is very detailed an additional charge may be required.  The letter can be amended by the surgery, as appropriate.  We will aim to have this ready within 5 working days.  All letters require the doctor to review a patient’s medical records to ensure that the information provided is correct.

Please fill in the below form to ensure we have all the details we need: Private letter request form.
