Cervical Smears

We strongly recommend that cervical smears are done every three years between the ages of 20 to 65 years. Invitations are sent to patients or appointments can be made by yourself if required.

Travel Clinic

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. Most travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because travel vaccination is not included in the services provided by the NHS and therefore is a chargeable service.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on this website: http://www.fitfortravel.scot.nhs.uk/destinations.aspx
