We offer a full range of vaccinations for foreign travel. For all advice and information regarding foreign travel please make an appointment with the practice nurse 6-8 weeks before departure so that immunisation can be completed. Please complete the below form and hand into reception prior to your appointment. A nurse will assess your form before any appointments are booked.
Our Stansted Branch is a registered Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre. We are currently going through the process of registering our Elsenham Branch. At this moment, only nurse Charlotte O’Neill at Stansted Branch can administer Yellow Fever vaccinations. As a Registered Yellow Fever Centre, we are able to administer Yellow Fever vaccinations to our own patients, and also to patients who are not registered with our surgery.
Please note that a charge will be made for certain vaccinations which are not covered by the NHS. A list of these charges is held at reception, and published below.
Please note that whilst patients can book holidays last minute, we are not able or obligated to provide last minute travel vaccinations. Our nurses require time to examine a patient’s planned itinerary, review their previous vaccination history, and often their medical history – before vaccination courses can be started. Some vaccinations require more than one dose, and for a patient to be fully protected, your vaccinations should be completed at least a couple of weeks before you travel.

Non NHS Services
Private Work Fees
Peacock Surgery may require patients to pay in advance for any non NHS services.
Why are fees charged?
Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. The government’s contract with GPs only covers general medical services to NHS patients.
Do GPs have to do non-NHS work for their patients?
With certain limited exceptions, GPs do not have to carry our non-NHS work. However, GPs will always attempt to assist their patients and carry out this work when requested. GPs and Nurses must prioritise our core clinical work, which is why private services may take a little longer.
I only need the GP’s signature – what’s the problem?
When a GP or nurse signs a certificate, completes a report, administers a travel vaccination or writes a letter, they take full legal responsibility. Mistakes can affect their inclusion in their professional registration councils. They only sign what they know to be true. In order to complete even the simplest of forms, the doctor may have to check a patient’s entire medical record, so a simple form can still take a significant amount of time to complete.
How should I pay the fee?
We will send an invoice to your email or for collection at reception if you prefer. Please pay the requested amount by bank transfer using the invoice number as a reference. If you don’t use online banking you can pay at reception over the counter. Please contact the surgery for details.
With the exception of Travel and Vaccination Fees, all Veterans of any branch of the United Kingdom Armed Forces are exempt from private fees. In order to request fees to be exempted, we will ask to see evidence of your Veteran status.
