The Government’s contract with GP’s covers medical services to NHS patients however in recent years more and more organisations have been involving doctors in a wide range of non-medical work. Sometimes the only reason that GP’s are asked is because they are in a position of trust in the community or because an insurance company, employer or public body wants to ensure that the information provided to them is true and accurate.

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make a telephone appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements and help determine what vaccinations are required.
This initial appointment should be made least six weeks before you travel. A second appointment will be required at least two weeks before you travel for you to receive the vaccinations and allow time for the vaccines to work.
Vaccines ideally need to be given at least 6 – 8 weeks before departure if possible. Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks.
Travel advice is covered by the NHS, however some vaccinations and prescriptions are only available privately.
The following websites will give you additional travel advice.
