We are participating in a new approach to improve access for patients to GP appointments. The aim is to direct patients to the most appropriate healthcare professional, which may be a GP or a pharmacist. From [insert date] if your symptoms could be resolved by a booked consultation with the pharmacist instead of the GP, you will be given a same-day referral to a pharmacy of your choice.
We think this is a good thing. Once you see how great your local pharmacist is - they are highly trained and skilled clinicians experienced in treating minor illnesses - we don't think you'll look back.

Should you require any vaccinations it is important to make an initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel as you may require more vaccinations at a different time.
Please allow plenty of time before you travel as some of the vaccines may have to be ordered as they are not always in stock.
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.
