Travel Medicine
If you are planning a travel to a foreign country and think you will need specific vaccinations, we are able to offer travel advice appointments with our team
We can provide travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations.
Travellers requiring special vaccines for yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and rabies will need to visit a private clinic to have these vaccinations. Please know the ACWY meningitis and Hepatitis B vaccination can be given at the surgery but on a private basis involving a charge.
For more information on which vaccinations you may need for a specific country, please access the Travel Health Pro website by clicking here. You can also read about any current disease outbreaks and if they will affect your trip by clicking here.

We regret that we are unable to process requests for travel immunisations made less than 8 weeks before your planned date of travel and recommend that you contact us at least 12 weeks in advance. In these instances you will be advised to contact a specialist travel clinic.

Minor Injury service
As part of the broader range of services the practice offers we are providing a minor injury service to patients. This service is intended as an alternative to attendance at the hospital Accident and Emergency department for those injuries that are simply treated. Our nursing team will assess the injury and if possible provide treatment at the surgery, saving you a trip to Huntingdon. Attendance should be within 48 hours of the event which caused the injury. Ankle and other joint injuries, twists and sprains, cuts, bruises and removal of foreign bodies are a few examples of the injuries that we would expect to be able to treat.
