Treatment Room

As with doctors’ appointments, the nursing team will offer you an appointment within 24 hours of your call. The nurses will also give telephone advice, although you may be asked for a contact number for them to phone back if they are busy when you call.  Amongst many things done in the treatment room are:
 
Minor operations
The doctor will help you book sufficient time with both the doctor and the nurse at your initial consultation.
 
Dressings
Some patients require dressings for ulcers and wounds. The nurses will be pleased to advise you when it is most appropriate to attend for a change of dressing.

Treatment of minor cuts and wounds; for a deep wound or when an X-ray might be necessary it may be more efficient to go to Mount Vernon Minor Injuries Unit or Northwick Park Accident and Emergency Department.
 
Blood tests, ECGs and Lung Function tests
Our healthcare assistant, Pauline, will be happy to take blood test, check your weight, height and blood pressure. She helps the clinical team with other tasks such and performing ECG recordings and lung function tests.

The doctor who organises your test will tell you whether or not you need to fast overnight.  Other specimens; please deliver them to the surgery in the mornings as many samples will become spoiled if they are delivered after our hospital collection has been made at lunchtime.

Warfarin monitoring
Patients who are taking warfarin and can come regularly to the surgery have the option of having their treatment monitored by the nurses here.

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.

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible  - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations.  These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine.  Your second appointment needs to be at least 4 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Information about countries and vaccinations required can be found on the links below:

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Carribean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

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.
