Non-NHS/Private Services

The doctors are independent contractors who have a contract with Somerset Primary Care Trust to provide for the medical care of patients under the National Health Service.

Services not included in the GMS Contract may be provided on a private basis with an appropriate fee charged as follows:

• Certificate and Forms
• Medical Examinations and Reports
• Access to Records (Under Data Protection Act)
• Blood Tests (excluding Pathology Laboratory Fees)

YOU MUST COMPLETE A TRAVEL QUESTIONNAIRE AT LEAST 6 WEEKS BEFORE YOU TRAVEL.

DO NOT MAKE ANY APOINTMENTS FOR VACCINATIONS OR ADVICE BEFORE YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY OUR TRAVEL TEAM.

Please contact the surgery four working days after handing in your questionnaire to arrange your travel consultation. Further appointments will be required to receive the vaccinations. Some of which may have to be ordered as they are not kept in stock.

The Travel Vaccination Clinic is a service not provided by the NHS and many travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these will incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. Fee’s may also be incurred if you access the service and decide to have a vaccination elsewhere.

Vaccinations will not be administrated until payment is received in full.

* NB - Patients should be aware that they may be asked to attend an alternative travel vaccination clinic elsewhere if their travel plans are sooner than the requested six weeks.

FLU Clinics

Flu clinics are now available.  Please call or book online.

You are eligible to receive a free flu jab if you: 

• are 65 years of age or over   
• are pregnant 
• have certain medical conditions 
• are very overweight
• are living in a long-stay residential care home or other long-stay care facility 
• receive a carer's allowance, or you are the main carer for an elderly or disabled person whose welfare may be at risk if you fall ill 
• are a front-line health and social care worker.  It is your employer's responsibility to arrange vaccination for you

 65s and over and the flu jab

You are eligible for the flu vaccine this year (2016-17) if you are aged 65 and over on March 31 2017 – that is, you were born on or before March 31 1952. So, if you are currently 64 but will be 65 on March 31 2017, you do qualify.

Pregnant women and the flu jab

If you're pregnant, you're advised to have the injectable flu vaccine, regardless of the stage of pregnancy you've reached.

That's because there's strong evidence to suggest pregnant women have an increased risk of developing complications if they get flu.
