foreign travel vaccinations

Advice and immunisation is available, in accordance with Public Health guidelines. Click here for a copy of our general travel advice leaflet. If you are due to travel abroad please ask for one of our travel health questionnaires or download from this website.  It is essential that the forms are completed and returned at least a week before your appointment in order to allow the nurse to assess your needs. The nurse will assess your vaccination requirements, but we also advise you to have some prior awareness of travel health issues by visiting www.fitfortravel.scot.nhs.uk

To download and print our travel health questionnaire and travel leaflet, click the links below and return the completed questionnaire to the appropriate surgery.

Adult  VACCINATIONS

We recommend flu and pneumonia vaccinations as advised by the Department of Health and for patients who suffer from diabetes, asthma and other chronic conditions. Please contact the surgery for advice.

Ante-natal clinics

Antenatal clinics are run by the midwife to monitor your health through pregnancy, and the development of your unborn baby. Appointments for the antenatal clinic should be made through reception.

Asthma checks

Asthma checks are carried out by the practice nurses to monitor your condition, and provide you with advice.

Cervical smears

It is very important for all women within the age range advised by the Department of Health to have a regular cervical smear test for which they will receive a recall letter. The practice nurse usually carries out the test.

Child health and vaccinations

Childhood vaccinations are advised and provided in line with current advice from the Department of Health.

Contraceptive services

Guidance about the range of contraceptive services is available in all the surgeries. Please telephone the receptionist in the first instance who will be happy to help you.  Emergency contraception is available from your doctor or pharmacist.

Diabetic checks

Diabetic checks are carried out by the practice nurses for assessment on all aspects of your diabetic care including blood sugar measurement, urine testing, blood pressure measurement and advice on diet and foot care.

Minor surgery

The doctors carry out a range of minor surgical procedures and will advise you when this is appropriate.
