A travel clinic is a specialist service and our nurses have been trained to provide expert service. Therefore we only provide appointments for travel immunisations in the travel clinics and, if these appointments are all taken, patients will have to access a private clinic instead (details available at reception). We are a recognised Yellow Fever Centre.

Ear Irrigation

We offer an ear irrigation service, however, please note the following:

• If you have had a history of ear infection or glue ear then you must wait 6 weeks before irrigation
• Patients must be 18 or over
• Please use olive oil drops in the ear twice a day for 2 weeks before irrigation
• If you require both ears to be irrigated at the same time, then please book a double appointment
• Should you have any of the following conditions, we apologise, but ear irrigation unfortunately cannot be performed: history of perforation in the past 20 years; severe tinnitus; mastoid cavities/grommets; cleft palate; learning disabilities or if you have had surgery on ears then you need to be referred for micro suction ENT.

Please ask to speak to one of our nurses if you require any further advice on ear irrigation.

Minor Surgery

We provide a full range of minor surgical procedures. These include removal of lumps and bumps, joint injections, cryotherapy (freezing) for skin problems and insertion of HRT implants. Ask your doctor.

Family Planning   

We are happy to deal with all contraceptive matters and fit coils and contraceptive implants. If you would like to have a coil/implant fitted, please read this advice about recommended timings so that you can book your appointment at the appropriate stage.

Patients who are not registered with our practice are welcome to attend solely for contraceptive advice

The childhood vaccinations are now given in rapid succession at two, three and four months to protect small babies from whooping cough and haemophilus (Hib) infections. It is very important that your child has these vaccinations.

There are only a few reasons for not vaccinating a child. If you are concerned that your child should not have a vaccination on a particular day, perhaps because they are unwell, please bring them to the surgery so that the doctor can assess whether or not to do the vaccination. It is very rare for a child not to be able to have the whooping cough vaccine. There is very real danger of your baby being damaged if they contract whooping cough in the first year of life.

Children over 14 months can be given the meningitis C injections as a single dose up to the age of 18.

Please note: if anyone other than the mother or married father (e.g. grandparent/unmarried father/au pair/nanny) is bringing the child for an immunisation, they must bring a signed permission letter to the appointment from the mother of the child.
