Travel Vaccinations

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: 

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

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.

PAIN - How to manage chronic pain

Attended dietitian group on Thursday 22/10/15 arranged by Debbie Hepworth a very interesting 2 hours the effort Debbie put into the meeting (tea/coffee/biscuits/sourcing written information) was very much appreciated by all credit where credit is due.

*****************************************************************************************

I had recently been under the care of Dr. Cunliffe for an ongoing problem. I cannot say enough how much I appreciated her care, sensitivity, and relaying of information to me. The assistant who sat in on the visits was friendly and professional. It felt a very safe environment for me. The receptionists with whom I came in contact were also all very helpful and friendly. If I wasn't at my current GP practice for seven years I would consider trying to switch to Meanwood. Thank you all so much for your care.

When you attend for a test of any kind you should wait for one week before phoning for the results.  Our Enquries/Test Results service is open from 9 am to 12.30 pm Monday to Friday.

Our reception staff are not qualified to comment on results and will not be able to give you your results so please don't go through to appointments for this service.

Unless specifically requested to do so by the doctor, please don't make a routine appointment to get your test results - the Enquries staff will inform you if the doctor has asked to see you again.

Please note that we do have a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. In this respect we will only give out results to the person they relate to unless that person has given prior permission for their release or if they are not capable of understanding them.

Please note that results for X-rays and Ultrasound examinations can take 2 weeks to be returned to the GP.
