We have a travel clinic for our patients, where you can arrange travel advice, vaccinations and presciptions. This is run by our Nurse Practitioner, Dorothy Allan. It is very important to make your appointment as far in advance as possible, to give good time for vaccinations to work properly. To book in please phone or call in at the reception desk, and list who is travelling, where you are going to, and what time of year you plan to be there. Please note that some elements of travel medicine do not fall under the NHS service, and will incur a fee. These fees are listed at reception

Minor Surgery
A minor surgery service is now run by Dr Cassidy. If you are referred to the clinic you will be sent an appointment letter. It is vital that you then call the surgery to confirm if you can attend (01224 849721), or if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment. If you do not call back, your appointment will be cancelled and offered to another patient. This system is to ensure that appointments are not wasted.
Most procedures are done under a local anaesthetic at Calsayseat, and you will be given wound care advice to help healing. In most cases, you should be able to go straight back to most normal activities, so long as wounds are kept clean and dry. You will be told if any specimens removed are sent to pathology. These specimens usually take up to 8-10 weeks to process and you will be informed of the result by post. If you have not received a letter by 3 months please contact us. Please do not assume that if you have not heard anything that the specimen was normal.
