Other Services

• Cervical Smear Tests - the practice nurse will perform the smear test.  All women aged 25 – 65 should have a test at least once every three years or five years depending on your age and you will be contacted through the smear recall system when you are due to make an appointment.  When making an appointment, please let the receptionist know it is for a smear, so enough time can be allocated.

• Childhood Immunisations - all childhood vaccines are delivered under the routine Scottish Childhood Immunisation Programme and are done so by the Immunisation Team.  These vaccinations are delivered at clinics throughout Fife.  Your appointment letter will detail the location of the clinic and the time to attend your appointment.  Further information can be found at www.nhsfife.org/services/all-services/immunisation

Travel Vaccinations

As soon as you start planning your trip abroad, it's important to check out what you need to know and do to help you travel safely.  You can find general travel health information, including how to stay safe and healthy abroad and which vaccinations you may need for your trip, at the NHS Scotland website - www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk 

As is the case throughout Scotland, GPs and medical practices in Fife no longer provide travel vaccination.  Instead, you should contact your local participating community pharmacy directly to book a vaccination appointment.  You can find the contact details of participating community pharmacies in Fife offering travel vaccination - www.nhsinform.scot/pharmacies.

Ideally, you should receive any vaccinations 8 weeks before your trip to ensure they take full effect before you ago abroad.  The vaccinations you need will depend on:

• The country you are travelling to
• Your accommodation
• How long you will stay
• What you will be doing
• Your general health

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

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.
