We are no longer able to provide private travel vaccinations at Fownhope Medical Centre. In light of the increasing amount of Nurse appointments taken up by providing private travel vaccinations, the GP Partners feel it is not in the best interests of the majority of our patients to continue this service.
As we hope patients will appreciate, our Practice Nurse time must be focused on NHS work; caring for patients with long term conditions, wound care, childhood immunisation and supporting the GP team.
The decision to end the service has not been taken lightly, and we apologise for the inconvenience this might cause for some patients needing travel advice.
There are some vaccinations recommended for travel which are available on the NHS due to the public health risk certain diseases pose.
Please see the attached pages for information about advice, and which vaccinations are private.
