Going Abroad? If you are travelling abroad and need travel vaccinations, please visit our new Travel Appointments pages to complete a Pre Travel Health Questionnaire. This will enable our nurses to make an assessment about which vaccinations you should consider having before your trip. Within these pages, you will also find a list of vaccination charges, advice leaflets for both the general and young traveller, and useful website links.

Swine Flu We have been advised by the Department of Health that if you have any queries or concerns regarding the current Mexican Swine Flu situation, you should contact NHS Direct on 0845 4647 for the most up-to-date information.

BOOK IN ADVANCE Crossley Street Surgery offers a range of appointments, which can be booked up to one month in advance. There is no need to ring at 8am to book these appointments. Contact our receptionists at any time between 8am and 6pm. REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS We are getting an increasing number of requests from patients asking for “urgent” prescriptions to be issued and signed the same day. This is putting an added strain on an already overstretched system. In the interests of patient safety, it is imperative that you allow at least 48 hours between ordering and collecting your prescriptions.
