If you're planning an exotic holiday in some far off land, chances are you'll need to visit this…read moreclinic. Here you can get professional advice on health and safety precautions when travelling abroad as well as any required vaccinations and tablets. There is a charge for a one off consultation with a medical professional which I think is around £6. This fee is deducted if you require vaccinations. Well Travelled runs a drop in service from 9-12 but get there early as it can get quite busy and you may not get seen. Alternatively, evening appointments are offered. Before you visit the clinic I recommend that you check the nathnac website: http://www.nathnac.org/travel/index.htm for details of vaccinations you may need when visiting your chosen destination. Also, consult your doctor as you may already have some of the required vaccines and, if not, some can be provided for free on the NHS. I visited the clinic in late May in preparation for a trip to Kenya. The staff were very welcoming and the service cannot be faulted. The nurse administered Yellow Fever injections and provided a debrief of all the injections my travelling partner and I had had, she discussed potential risks in the area and the precautions that we could take to lessen these risks, printing off some relevant information for our interest. She was very knowledgeable and thorough. The injection cost around £50, which I thought was pricey, but I have since heard other registered Yellow Fever centres are more expensive. Besides, you can't put a price on your health.

The dark side of private healthcare. I rang up to make an appointment quite urgently but was told…read morethey were shut for the next two days. When I asked if they knew a clinic that might be open the telephone operator almost laughed, saying she could hardly recommend I go somewhere else. What sort of a healthcare organisation is this if it would rather risk my health than see money to a rival? Liverpool school of tropical medicine should be ashamed to be associated with these people.

There are not so good at calling patients in for chronic disease check ups and really rely on you bringing yourself in for that. Reception is situated away from the waiting areas so you're less likely to ask those questions that pop into your head while you're waiting. If the doctor suggests you need to see the nurse for something, you have to make another appointment and come back another day. If you have tests done and the doctor is off when the results come back, you have to wait until they are back in work to find out.

What is it with receptionists at the doctors?…read more I have been with this doctor's surgery since I moved to Liverpool but the only reason I've stayed with them is for the actual medics in there. The reception staff are often rude and questioning about your reasons for an appointment. You are extremely lucky if you get an appointment, 2-3 weeks is the average wait it seems, if you declare it to be an emergency they will invite you to come and sit for around 3 hours until a GP is free. However, once you're in, you will receive some of the best GP care. The staff (particularly a female doctor - I won't mention her name) is brilliant. Almost seems normal! It's a shame I can't say the same for the nurse who took my blood pressure, she didn't seem competent at using the machine at all.
