Minor Surgery

Takes place most weeks, unless there is a TARGET afternoon that week. We will normally phone you a few weeks before to confirm arrangements. Often we will write you a letter with the appointment time. This appointment needs to be confirmed. If you do not confirm this appointment, we will not be expecting you.

Conditions appropriate for Minor Surgery are skin tags, most skin lesions not suspected of being cancerous, cautery of noses, removal of sebaceous cysts, injections to joints and tendons. Contact person for this service is our respiratory lead nurse or administration, who can be contacted via our reception. (But preferably NOT before 11am)  

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Caribbean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

If you have a child requiring immunisation, a member of our admin team will invite your child to attend the surgery for vaccination. If this appointment is not convenient, please telephone Claire Midgley on 01924 866918 to rearrange the appointment.
