Locala’s Health and Wellbeing’s services are going out on the road to offer help and support in the heart of our communities.

As part of a 12-week pilot programme, starting on June 6^th , Locala has a “Clinic in a Van” which will be used by some of its services to visit sites across four areas – Kirklees, the Bradford district, Stockport and Tameside.

GPs from the Whitehouse Centre in Huddersfield will use the van to provide outreach services at the Huddersfield Mission, offering targeted healthcare support to the homeless, people in emergency accommodation and asylum seekers in the area.

The van is specially designed to provide healthcare services with a waiting area and a separate clinical room - meeting all the Infection Prevention and Control standards you’d expect from a GP surgery or Community Health Centre. Information on this.

Clinics & Services

We offer a range of GP and nursing services including:

• Health Checks
• Cervical Smears
• Minor Surgery
• Contraception

Child Immunisations - Baby Clinic

This is an appointment only clinic for baby and pre-school immunisations. This service requires a referral by your GP.

We also offer confidential interpreters and links to other agencies.

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 fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.

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.
