Wolseley Medical Centre - The clinics and other services offered by our doctors surgery

Clinics & Services

The practice offers a wide range of services to our patients. We are dedicated to promoting good health and provide family centred medical care. We are grateful for the co-operation of our patients and hope that we can continue to work with them to achieve good health for all.

The following clinical services are available by appointment:

Drugs, Alcohol and Smoking

The surgery works closely with community drug and alcohol teams to whom you may be referred if necessary. There is a smoking cessation clinic in-house every Monday from 13:30 - 15:30 and there is a in-house session on a Tuesday and Wednesday with Re-New which is the drug and alcohol service for adults in Hull. For either of these clinics you can book your appointment with the Reception team.

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.

Travel Health Questionnaire

To help us offer the appropriate advice please complete our Travel Questionnaire before you attend your appointment. You can print it out to complete and bring with you to your appointment. Otherwise you can collect one from reception.
