Clinics & Services

You can still book ahead to see our practice nurses or for the Asthma and Diabetes Clinic, Cryotherapy, and for the Midwife.

Clinics run by our Practice Team

These clinics are in addition to the normal range of nurse treatments which also include ECGs, ear irrigation and wound care. We also have Nurse and HCA clinics in extended hours each week.

* School Age Children Immunisations

The Public Health arm of NHS England has decided that it is more effective and efficient for all school age children to receive ALL their immunisationsfrom a single organisation; the provider is Derbyshire Health Community Services from September 2015.

As Practices are no longer involved in this aspect of healthcare all queries about such immunisations (including historical information) should be directed to them on 01283 707170.

Alternatively we can provide a printout of these from your childs records free of charge.

Consultant Clinics

To offer a better service to local residents, Claremont Private Hospital is now offering Consultant Clinics here at Bakewell Medical Centre. This service is designed to save time and effort travelling over to Sheffield for outpatient appointments, so you only need attend Claremont for diagnostic scans, tests and surgery.

These clinics will be open to NHS and private patients from any surgery and cover a variety of specialities

Private Patients: Simply obtain a referral letter from your GP and book in.

NHS Patients: Speak to your GP and ask to be referred through the Choose & Book system at ‘Aspen Claremont - Bakewell’ (restrictions apply).

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.

• Insurance claim forms
• Passport signing
• Prescriptions for taking medication abroad
• Private sick notes
• Vaccination certificates

The fees charged (click here) 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. 

Young People's Page

We recognise that many young people – especially teenagers- have their own sets of problems and may want to either talk to someone in complete confidence about these or as a minimum want access to information about certain issues.

We detail below some useful website addresses which you may find of interest:

• www.bullying.co.uk
• www.studenthealth.co.uk
• www.nhs.uk/LiveWell/TeenGirls/Pages/teengirlshome.aspx

Our GP’s or nurses offer a full range of advice about sex and contraception (including Chlamydia screening) if you feel you would rather seek advice elsewhere with regard to these matters there are clinics at Wheatbridge (in Chesterfield), Matlock and Buxton.

We are always seeking feedback on any of our services offered or about access to see a Doctor or Nurse – if at any time you have any suggestions please do not hesitate to contact Nick Derbyshire our Practice Manager either by telephone, email or in person.
