Clinics and Services

If you would like to request an appointment for any of our clinics and services, please visit Appointments.

Please visit Health Reviews if you have been advised by the surgery to complete a health review or assessment.

Nursing services

We employ three practice nurses and three healthcare assistants. Our practice nurses are available by appointment for general nursing services and health promotion. Appointments are available between 08:30-17:00. If required, please Request an appointment with a Nurse or Healthcare Assistant.

They can offer help and advice with immunisations, cervical smears and family planning, well person checks, dietary advice, menopause and general promotion of good health.

We also run clinics for long term condition management. Please ask the nurse for further information.

Antenatal clinic

The midwife holds her antenatal clinic at Dereham Hospital.

Travel vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please complete a Travel Risk Assessment. This should include the countries and the areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

It is important to submit this questionnaire as early as possible, at least six weeks before you travel. The nurse will review your questionnaire and then the surgery will call you to make a convenient travel health appointment.

Your travel health appointment needs to be at least two weeks before you travel, to allow time for any vaccines to work. The nurse will provide travel health advice, information and the following vaccines free of charge:

  • Hepatitis A
  • Typhoid
  • Diphtheria, tetanus and polio

There is currently a national shortage of hepatitis A and typhoid vaccinations. The surgery will only be able to administer these vaccines if they are in stock. This is beyond our control.

Some travel vaccines are not available at this surgery, and they will need to be administered at a dedicated travel clinic, for which there may be a charge. Travel clinics can be found locally at:

Anti-malarial medication is not available on the NHS. Please speak to your local pharmacy who will be able to help you.
