Maternity Care

Maternity care is shared with the community midwives, normally Jenna Walker. We provide antenatal care and classes along with postnatal care. In some instances the district midwives may attend a Hospital confinement. Antenatal clinics are held on Tuesday mornings at Ayton Surgery and Tuesday afternoons at Snainton Surgery.

Child Health

Elizabeth Bull is involved with the care of children and support of the family. She organises Child Health Clinics at Snainton Village Hall in the 1st Thursday of the month 14:00 – 15:30 and at East Ayton Children's Centre located behind East Ayton Primary School on Monday afternoons 13:30 – 14:45.

Elizabeth can be contacted by ringing (01723) 864972. If she is not available a message can be left at Surgery Reception.

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.

Travelling in Europe

If you are travelling to Europe the EU has published useful information for travellers on the European website.

Non-NHS Services

Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:

Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements (HGV, PSV etc.)
Insurance claim forms
Passport signing
Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
Private sick notes
Vaccination certificates

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.
