Hook & Hartley Wintney Consultant Lead Gynaecology Clinic

If your GP decides that you need to see a gynaecological consultant, you can now choose to be seen at Hook Surgery at our Gynaecology Clinic. If this is appropriate your GP will write a referral letter for you following your consultation.

This clinic is designed to be clinically effective with a personal service in a friendly, professional and discrete environment. It is a ‘one-stop shop’ where there will be an ultra-sound scanner available at the appointment plus a consultant able to interpret the results.

The appointments will be at Hook Surgery on Thursday evenings so that busy women with many commitments will find it more convenient to attend than at a clinic run during the day.

The patient will be greeted by a receptionist who will explain how the appointment will proceed. There will be a Health Care Assistant to measure BMI and blood pressure and other basic tests if this information is needed by the consultant. The patient will then see the sonographer for an ultrasound scan if that is appropriate for the patient’s condition.

After the scan, the patient will be seen by a gynaecological consultant. There will also be a GP with specialist knowledge at the clinic who will be seeing some patients. A female chaperone will be at the clinic at all times to assist where appropriate

Travel Vaccinations

Travel Clinics are run at both surgeries. We would advise that you contact us well in advance of your holiday arrangements so that a programmed of vaccinations can be carried out to ensure you have maximum protection whilst abroad. Please download the form at the bottom of the page and hand it to a receptionist so it can be passed to our travel clinic nurse. She will then look at your records and decide whether there are any vaccinations you will need. This process will take a few days. Depending on the iminemence of your trip the form will either be sent to you or a receptionist will call you to advise what type of appointment you require.

Although many of the vaccines are provided through the NHS there are some that we need to charge you for that fall outside of the NHS. A full list of charges will be explained to you on request. We do ask for payment at the time of immunisation.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required is available at www.fitfortravel.scot.nhs.uk or via the links below

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Carribean	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.
