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.

Immunisation (cht.nhs.uk)

We offer a limited health provision here at Stainland Road Medical Centre.

Where needed, Hepatitis A, Typhoid and Tetanus vaccinations can be offered as part of this service and these are free and given dependant on your travel itinerary.

Using the guide below, click on your area of travel for advice on what is required. Anything other than the 3 vaccinations mentioned above will likely need a more specialised approach and we would strongly recommend seeking this.

You can find advice from sites such as: www.masta-travel-health.com/booking/travel

If you require the vaccinations mentioned above or if you are still unsure, please complete the travel questionnaire below as soon as possible. Hand in to the reception at least 8-10 weeks before travelling.

If you are travelling sooner please contact Masta.

Pre-travel Questionnaire for patients

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.
