Patient Information

If you’re planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.

Our practice nurses are available by appointment to offer medical advice regarding travel and vaccinations where appropriate.

You can find out which vaccinations are necessary or recommended for the areas you’ll be visiting on these websites:

• Travel Health Pro
• NHS fit for Travel

Some countries require proof of vaccination (for example, for polio or yellow fever vaccination), which must be documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) before you enter or when you leave a country.

Find out more about the vaccines available for travellers abroad.

Travel Risk Assessment

We offer a full travel and advice immunisation service. If you are travelling abroad please complete our travel vaccination form in plenty of time (We recommend 6-8 weeks) before your journey.

Find our more about Travel Vaccinations on nhs.uk.

The surgery is frequently asked to provide private letters/reports/ third party letters/To whom it may concern letters. If you request work that is not provided for under the terms of the NHS Primary Care Services contract, we may be able to undertake such work for you, but, as this is a private service, you will incur a charge for completion of your request. Such requests take time as they require the GP to review the patients’ entire medical records to ensure that any information provided is correct.

If your request is accepted – Please note – Private letters may take some time to prepare as requests for these DO NOT take priority over NHS work. We will usually give you a turn around time of 28 days however at certain times this could be exceeded according to demand.

On the rare occasion that a request is deemed to be urgent, then we will do our best to meet your requested deadline – providing this is a period no shorter than 7 working days , however there is no guarantee that we could adhere to this.

We will advise the patient requesting non-NHS work of the cost, the fee is payable in advance. Please note that whilst our GP’s will always attempt to assist patients with their requests there is no requirement that they do so.
Example of private letters/reports include:

• Letters to the Council re housing
• Fitness to travel/Holiday cancellations
• Confirmation of medical conditions/medication etc

Clinicians in the surgery do not counter-sign passport applications also we do not provide letters confirming address/residency, any requests where we have no means of verifying the requested information will be refused. Please note – When a Doctor/Nurse signs a certificate, completes a report etc, they are legally required to only sign what they know to be true.

If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you.

Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can view them:

• in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
• phone or visit the surgery after 4pm
