NHS vaccinations

It’s important that you have the vaccinations you need to keep you safe and to minimise the risk of infections. We offer a number of vaccinations at our surgery. Your GP will be able to let you know what vaccinations you need. You can also find more information about vaccinations and when to have them on the NHS vaccination schedule.

Childhood immunisation

It’s important to make sure that your child has all of their routine childhood vaccinations. It’s the most effective way of keeping them protected against infectious diseases.

Ideally, children should have their vaccinations at the right age to protect them as early as possible and to minimise the risk of infection.

Your GP will be able to tell you what vaccinations children need. You can also find more information about children’s vaccinations and benefits on the NHS website.

RSV vaccinations

The RSV vaccine helps protect against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common virus that can make babies and older adults seriously ill. It's recommended during pregnancy and for adults aged 75 to 79.

The RSV vaccine helps protect against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

RSV is a common cause of coughs and colds. Most people get it several times during their life.

It usually gets better by itself, but in some people (especially babies and older adults) it can cause illnesses such as:

  • pneumonia (a lung infection)
  • bronchiolitis (a chest infection that affects babies)

You can contact the surgery to find out more about RSV vaccinations or visit the NHS website.

Flu vaccinations

Seasonal flu is a highly infectious illness that’s caused by a flu virus. The virus infects your lungs and upper airways, and can cause a high temperature, aches and pains. A flu vaccination can help limit your risk of getting the flu.

Our surgery offers flu vaccinations to patients. We offer two routine vaccinations – one for patients under 65 years and another vaccine for patients over 65 years.

You can contact the surgery to find out more about flu vaccinations or visit the NHS website.

Covid-19 vaccinations

The COVID-19 vaccine helps protect against COVID-19, which can be a serious or life-threatening illness. It's offered on the NHS to people at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19.

This vaccination is given during the spring and autumn.

If you are eligible, you will receive a message from the practice to book in. Alternatively, call the main reception desk. 

You can contact the surgery to find out more about covid vaccinations or visit the NHS website.

Shingles vaccination

The shingles vaccine helps protect against shingles. It's recommended for all adults turning 65, those aged 70 to 79 and those aged 50 and over with a severely weakened immune system.

Shingles is a common condition that causes a painful rash. It can sometimes lead to serious problems such as long-lasting pain, hearing loss or blindness.

You can contact the surgery to find out more about covid vaccinations or visit the NHS website.

Pneumococcal vaccinations

The pneumococcal vaccine helps protect against serious illnesses like pneumonia and meningitis. It's recommended for people at higher risk of these illnesses, such as babies and adults aged 65 and over.

You can contact the surgery to find out more about covid vaccinations or visit the NHS website.

Travel vaccinations

We offer routine vaccinations and general advice to our patients travelling abroad who may need to be vaccinated.

You will need to complete a pre-travel questionnaire and wait for the practice nurse to contact you regarding what vaccinations will be required for your trip.

Travel Vaccinations Form

Some vaccinations are ordered on a private prescription and not on the NHS, which means that these will be charged for. Our practice nurse will contact you to explain what vaccinations you need and whether you will need to pay for them.

You can also find useful information about travel vaccinations on the Travel vaccinations page on the NHS website.
