Adult Vaccinations (Including Travel Vaccines)

Everyone should have a full course of tetanus injections with a booster every 10 years. If you are due to travel abroad and require a course of injections, please allow time so that all vaccines can be given before you travel. If you require a vaccination, please state clearly where you are travelling to and for how long and if you have already had the vaccine prior to travel. Please state if you developed any side effects or reactions.

Please note there will be a charge for most travel vaccinations the cost of which is payable at the time of your appointment.

Cervical Smears

Smears allow us to detect changes in the cervix which can sometimes lead to cancer. These changes can be treated and cancer prevented. Between the ages of 25-49 you should have smears three-yearly and between 50 and 65 five-yearly.

Breast Self Examination

Most breast lumps are discovered by women themselves. Leaflets and advice on how to check your breasts are available at the surgery.

Mammograms (X-ray Of Breasts)

Women aged 50 to 70 years are advised to have a mammogram every three years. Very early cancers can be detected by mammogram.
