Non-NHS Examinations

The doctors are happy to carry out medicals, eg insurance and driving licence, by appointment outside surgery hours. Please telephone the surgery so that this can be arranged for you. Please ask at reception for the charges for these services.

Counselling

Counsellors are available at both Great Berry and Knares. Please ask at reception for details.

Patients Over 75 Years

If you are aged 75 years or over, you should be seen annually either by your doctor or practice nurse. This can be arranged at the surgery or, if that is not possible, a home visit will be arranged.

Travel Immunisations/Vaccinations

Please make an appointment at least eight weeks in advance of your holiday to ensure adequate cover. A charge will be made for certain immunisations and vaccinations which are not covered by the NHS. Not all vaccines are available at the surgery. A visit to a travel clinic would then be necessary. There is a charge for private prescriptions for anti-malarials.

Flu Vaccination

An influenza vaccine is particularly recommended for patients with heart, lung or kidney disease, diabetes, asthma, residents of nursing and rest homes and any patient over 65 years old. Please contact the reception staff in September for details of the vaccination dates. If you are unable to attend the surgery, a home visit will be arranged to undertake this facility.

Yellow Fever Vaccinations

Neither surgery is an authorised Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.

Child Immunisation

Please inform the surgery if you do not wish your child to be vaccinated.
