Appointments

Our standard appointments are 15 minutes long. We have appointments available throughout the day from 8am-6pm. As the practice is fully computerised, patient’s notes are available at both branches of the surgery.

Please Note

• Please ask for a separate appointment for each person who wishes to be seen.
• Children should be accompanied by a responsible adult.
• You can always be seen on the same day if your need is urgent.
• If you are unable to keep your appointment, please notify the surgery.

Payment

We prefer payment at time of consultation. If accounts are sent there will be an administration fee of £7.50. There is also a small charge for repeat prescriptions.

Cancellations

If you cannot attend an appointment for any reason please inform us as soon as possible in order for us to give the slot to someone else.

Home Visits

Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:30am. 

The doctors at the surgery each have a specific day for doing routine visits. The rota is below: 

Please note that due to other commitments Dr. Kate Wilson does not currently offer home visits. 

Travel Vaccinations

Travel vaccinations do vary in cost but are usually around £40-50. We offer all travel vaccinations and are a registered yellow fever centre.  For your specific vaccination needs please see the following website: www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk.

Vaccination Requirements:

• Hepatitis A requires a single vaccination for 1 years protection. If you have a booster within a year you are protected for 10years.
• Hepatitis B requires 3 vaccinations to provide lifelong immunity. Some people require a booster at 5 years. The 3 injections are usually given.
• Typhoid is one injection which lasts 3 years.
• Most people are covered for tetanus through the course of immunisations they had as a child, however if you have a nasty injury or an animal bite a booster is sometimes indicated. The booster gives you 10 years protection.
• Meningitis A, C, Y & W is a once only vaccination.
• Cholera requires 2 oral doses (purchased as a single unit) taken 2-3 weeks apart. Protection lasts for 2 years.
• Rabies requires 3 vaccinations to provide life-long immunity. Further booster injections may be required for high risk areas/professions e.g. vets. The 3 injections are usually given.
• Japanese encephalitis requires 2 vaccinations apart and provides lifelong immunity.
• Yellow fever is one injection and is currently licensed to cover you for 10 years although this may change in the future.

We have taken action to standardize our charges and are keen to ensure that you know exactly how much a consultation will cost you before you are seen.
