Clinics & Services

In addition to GP consultations the practice offers a wide range of specialist clinics and  healthcare services:

Clinics

Antenatal/Postnatal Care - we offer a shared care with the hospital consultant and community midwife. Midwives are available every friday morning and afternoon.

General checks will cover health and weight, lifestyle advice, blood pressure, blood tests (as appropriate) tetanus status.

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include 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

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.

Travelling in Europe

If you are travelling to Europe a very useful booklet has been published with advice and guidance to help you get the most out of your holiday. To visit please click:- http://ec.europa.eu/publications/booklets/eu_glance/86/en.pdf (this is a large document and may take a minute or two to view)

Non-NHS Services

Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:

• Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements (LGV, PCV etc.)
• Insurance claim forms
• Passport signing
• Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
• Private sick notes
• Vaccination certificates 

Our fees for these services are in line with BMA approved national guidelines.

Services requiring admin time (e.g. reports; claim forms) will be invoiced and must be paid for in advance of work being completed. Other services must be paid for at the time of appointment or collection of form  e.g. vaccinations; private prescriptions.

Payment of fees can be either cheque (made payable to Stainland Road Medical Centre) or cash. We are unable to accept card payments at this time.
