Non-urgent advice: Spring/ Summer 2022
We are advised by NHSEI, BMA and RCGP that travel vaccinations remain a low clinical priority, set against the context of the wider pandemic NHS recovery, patient access, long term condition management and offering the Covid vaccination programme.
However, we recognise that they remain important to our patients, so we protect a proportion of nurse time to deliver every week.
We will endeavour to do what we can but given the wider demands on our time which are clinically urgent, you may be advised that the time window for your vaccinations is inconvenient for your travel plans.
In this scenario if we have no availability to accommodate your needs, we will signpost you to local private travel providers, who may also be able to serve any additional needs for e.g. Japanese encephalitis and tick-borne encephalitis; meningitis vaccines; rabies; tuberculosis (TB) and yellow fever.
You will need to complete our Travel Risk Assessment Form and return it to the surgery by handing in to our reception team.
We also have a Travel Advice Leaflet which will provide you with further guidance on your travel requirements.
There is currently a delay in our ability to process travel forms submitted to us. Any forms submitted up to 6th August will be dealt with as soon as possible, however there is a delay of up to 3 months for any forms submitted after this date until further notice. Although we run a waiting list, we would like you to be aware of the long wait time. If you are travelling in the next 3-4 months, you may wish to seek advice privately so that you receive guidance and appropriate vaccinations in good time.
Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience. Thank you.
Yours in health, Mayford House Surgery
