NHS Free Health Check
The NHS Health Check is for adults in England between the ages of 40 and 74. For more information please ask Reception for a leaflet where you can learn more about what the check is, what it involves, and when and how you can get it. It will also help you to understand more about your results when you receive them, and what to do next.
To take charge of your long-term health with a Free NHS Health Check, please book an appointment to see your GP.
Travel Advice and Vaccinations
This service is available by appointment only with our Practice Nurse. You are advised to speak to the Practice Nurse prior to your appointment to enable her to explain which vaccinations are applicable and the cost, if any. Some vaccinations are free under the NHS but others are chargeable. Please note that there is a charge for private prescriptions for anti-malarial medications. All details are available at our Reception. Our surgery accepts cash only. We are a registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.
