Private Work Fees
The NHS provides free health care for most people.
It is important to understand that GPs are self employed and not all of the services we provide are covered by the NHS payments to the practice.
Please expect a fee for non NHS services. The staff or your doctor should inform of any charges before carrying out non NHS work.
We also offer private medicals which may be needed by any agency such as your employer or for overseas visa applications. Please contact the Practice Manager for further details.
Do you need vaccinations?
Our Nurses can provide travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations. We do require your forms at least 6 weeks before you travel to ensure we can assess your needs fully. If we receive your forms within the 6 weeks preceding travel you may need to attend the MASTA clinic instead of coming to the surgery. Tesco Huntingdon are now offering a travel clinic and can be contacted on 01480 707026.
Select the region you are travelling to find out more.
Travel Assessment
If you are travelling abroad please complete and submit the travel form in plenty of time (we recommend 6-8 weeks) before your journey.

Our Advanced Nurse Prescriber, Chloe Fazakerley, offers a Nurse Practitioner Clinic.
A number of these appointments will be pre-bookable, one week in advance with others available on the day. They will also be available to book “on-line” through Patient UK (open to patients with their own log on access which you can obtain from any member of our reception team).
This clinic is suitable for those presenting with coughs, colds, headaches, sore throat, aches and strains, back pain, abdominal pain, skin problems, urinary tract problems, chest pain, skin problems, as well as exacerbation of health issues such as angina, asthma, COPD, diarrhoea & vomiting and more. If you are at all unsure whether this clinic is right for you, then please do not hesitate to speak to one of our reception team first. You may be offered an appointment with Chloe instead of a GP if the receptionist thinks it is appropriate for your needs, you can also request to be seen by Chloe.
It is worth stressing that if you have a problem that is “on-going” with a GP please continue to see him/her.
