Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to complete the travel questionnaires below as soon as possible. Hand in to the reception at least 10 weeks before travelling. As appointments availability is at the moment 8 weeks wait.

If you are travelling sooner please contact a travel clinic such as Masta

Pre-travel questionnaire for patients

Travel disclaimer

Yellow Fever questionnaire

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

An 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. 

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.

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.
