Enhanced Access providing patient access to appointments is being delivered directly by Nuneaton and Bedworth Primary Care Network on behalf of its 16 General Practices from April 2024; the service will offer improved access to appointments and other general practice services, virtually and face to face when you Practice is closed.
For further information, please visit https://www.nuneatonandbedworthpcn.co.uk/services/
If you require a translator, to be able to use sign language or require large text to help you communicate with a clinician please let us know and we will arrange this for you.
Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:
The fees charged are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.
Our practice outsources most of our medical reporting work to an NHS Digital accredited company called IGPR. IGPR process your medical report under a data sharing agreement and via an online secure encrypted portal.
FREE NHS Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening for men aged 65+
In April 2012 a new NHS AAA Screening and Surveillance Service for gentlemen aged 65 and over was launched in Coventry and Warwickshire. Should you wish to read more about this AAA Screening Service may I suggest that you refer to the National AAA Website at gov.uk/topic/population-screening-programmes/abdominal-aortic-aneurysm
where there is more information in order that you are able to make an informed decision as to whether you wish to refer into this programme. Currently, this particular NHS screening programme is not available for ladies, as the prevalence of AAA’s is five times higher in the male population.
Should you wish to register for a scan then can I ask you to either ring 01788 663428, or email [email protected] quoting your 10-digit NHS number.
Please feel free to share this information with your friends too.
If you are visiting a country overseas and you want us to review your records and potentially over NHS travel health vaccinations you must complete a travel risk assessment a minimum of 4 weeks before you travel. If we receive this outside of this time frame we may have to refer you to the nearest travel clinic (Coventry) for your vaccinations where you will be required to pay for all vaccinations undertaken; even those covered by NHS.
We do not provide a vaccination service for the below travel vaccinations which are outside of the NHS provision. Should these vaccines be recommended for the country you are visiting, you will need to source an alternative provider; our nearest travel clinic is Coventry (contact details as below):
Travel Clinic Coventry, 178 Foleshill Rd, Coventry, CV1 4JH
Tel: 02476 520183
The practice will still offer to provide Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid and Tetanus under NHS provision (dependent on appointment availability) to our paitents.
We will continue to provide Men ACWY for our patients, both chargeable per vaccine; price given on application.
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.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below:
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 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
Sometimes patients may not have left enough time for us to purchase vaccinations or have appointment availability in time for their travel. If this is the case, there is an alternative local service provider, George Eliot Medical Centre, Foleshill Road, Coventry. Please note, this is a private clinic and patients will be charged per vaccine; appointments are needed.
