Flu

Influenza jabs are recommended by the Department of Health for patients 65 and over. In addition patients under 65 but with specific health conditions should also have an injection. These risks are as follows:

  • Chronic respiratory disease, including asthma (where medication was issued within the last three months)
  • Chronic heart disease.
  • Chronic renal failure.
  • Diabetis mellitus
  • Immunosuppression due to disease or treatment, including asplenia or splenic disfunction.

The Practice will write to patients in the above categories inviting them to a clinic in the Health Centre during October and November.

Medicals

Insurance, Heavy Goods Vehicle, Public Service Vehicle, Hackney Carriage and other medicals may be arranged with the Doctors by appointment. Fees for non-NHS services will be charged at BMA recommended rates e.g. Insurance Claims, BUPA forms, passports etc. A list of fees is available upon request at Reception.

In order to make an appointment for a medical you need to let the Practice have the papers at the time you make the booking. We are unfortunately unable to do a medical without the full paperwork in advance. These appointments usually take 30 minutes and without the papers they need to be cancelled and re-scheduled. This would cause an appointment to be lost.

We also act as Company Doctors for a number of local firms.
