Clinics & Services

We hold clinics at the Health Centre for the care of some groups of patients. Repeat medication is reviewed in some of the clinics.

Antenatal Clinic - The Ribble Team midwives provide the antenatal services for this practice, they are based at Field lane Childrens Centre, Rastrick .
Tel 01484 728934

Asthma/COPD Clinic - our specially trained nurse holds clinics for adults and children by appointment only.

Diabetic Clinic - Monday afternoons

This is run by the practice nurses. If you are a diabetic you will automatically be offered an appointment to attend annually, unless you are already being seen at the hospital clinic.

Healthy Heart Clinic - this clinic is run by the practice nurses for the care of patients with heart disease, high blood pressure, raised blood fats and those at risk of heart disease, by appointment only.

Influenza (Flu) Vaccination - this is recommended for all patients aged over 65 years and for patients of all ages with heart, lung or kidney disease. Patients who are carers are also advised to have a flu vaccination. The flu vaccinations are usually available from October onwards each year.

Blood Collecting Venues

We have a phlebotomy service at the practice and a community phlebotomist on a Tuesday morning at Longroyde Surgery. Our receptionist will be able to advise and book a convenient time. 

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

NHS guidance: fitfortravel.nhs.uk

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.

Travel Health Questionnaire

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please visit the surgery and fill out a Travel Vaccination Form, or alternatively download the form below, print out and hand in at reception before booking your travel vaccination appointment.
