TRAVEL ADVICE AND VACCINATIONS
These are available through the Practice Nurse. Ideally you should consult at least 6-8 weeks before your intended departure date. This allows proper planning for any vaccinations you may require, and adequate time for these vaccinations to become effective.
WELL PATIENT CHECKS
For a full health check and assessment, ask at reception about how to book a Well Patient Check with our Practice Nurse Morag Macdonald.
PRIVATE MEDICAL SERVICES
Some services you may require are not available on the NHS. These include insurance forms and examinations, private medical certificates and examinations for other purposes (driving, employment, diving). A fee may be chargeable in some circumstances. When phoning to make an appointment for a medical, please be sure to tell the receptionist as these take longer than a normal appointment and are often done outwith surgery hours.
