Carers
If you -- unpaid -- are looking after a friend or relative who has an illness, disability or frailty and who could not manage without your help, then you are a carer. You may have a friend or relative who regularly helps you with washing, dressing, preparing meals or running your home – they are your carer. We would like to know who the carers are amongst our patients so that we can provide them with support. Advice and assistance is also available through our Carers’ Corner and our Carers' Clinic, led by the local carer support worker. So, please do let us know if you are a carer or have a carer. The Practice is a member of Carers UK and works closely with both Carers in Hertfordshire and Age Concern. We are very pleased to have been recognised with a Silver Award from the Princess Royal Trust for Carers in 2005.

Travel Clinic
Our Medical Advisory Services for Travellers Abroad (MASTA) Travel Clinic offers personally tailored travel immunisations and health advice to any traveller. Our e-clinic provides up-to-date information with regard to vaccination requirements to more than 260 countries and the individual recommendations for travellers with multiple and complicated travel arrangements can be compiled very quickly. The e-clinic is updated daily from local information and includes Foreign Office and Commonwealth Office advice as well as general health data.
The tariff for immunisations and anti-malarial products is uniform throughout MASTA Travel Clinics and is very competitive in comparison with other immunisation clinics. We will also be pleased to provide insect repellents, sun block lotions, sterile travel packs, water purifiers and a variety of nets as recommended by MASTA.
Citizens Advice Bureau
