Are you fit for travel?

Fitfortravel is a website provided by NHS Scotland.  It gives travel health information for people travelling abroad from the UK.  You can get vaccination, disease and malaria advice for your chosen destination.

Remember - always discuss your particular needs with the practice travel nurse at least 6 weeks before you travel.

Do you Care?                              

Have you told us you are caring for someone? 

Are you providing help and support to a relative, partner, friend or neighbour who could not manage without your help due to age, sickness, addiction or disability?

You may not realise you are acting in a 'caring role’, let alone realise the benefits; whether emotional, physical or financial; available to help and support you in your role.
 
We have introduced a 'Registration of a Carer' form within the practice.  The form will allow us to note you are a carer on your records.  Our doctors will be aware of your role and are here to help. We can offer you an annual health check, annual flu immunization, arrange appointments to fit around your caring role, send repeat prescriptions direct to your pharmacy and provide information on access to practical and emotional support for you.  We hope you, our patient, will feel supported rather than isolated, in what can be a challenging, frustrating and stressful role. 

It is important to tell us and find out what help is available for you.  Please ask for a Carer Registration Form from Reception.
