Chlamydia Screening

Screening is available free of charge to all 16-25 year olds. 

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.

Most travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because travel vaccination is not included in the services provided by the NHS and therefore is a chargeable service.

Pregnancy & Babies

Ascot Medical Centre works with the Diamond Team of midwives, based at Heatherwood Hospital.  The midwives who run our ante-natal classes are Maria and Sau Pheng. Once you know you are pregnant you need to decide where you would like to have your baby.

The choices you have are:

• Wexham Park, Slough (tours on Sundays at 14:00)
• St Peters, Chertsey (book tours with the parentcraft midwife on 01932 872000 x 2972)
• The Royal Berks, Reading (book tours on 0118 987 7294)
• Frimley Park, Camberley (tours Sat & Sun at 16:00 - meet outside maternity A&B, 1st floor)

You then need to make a Booking Appointment with the midwife.

Downs Syndrome:

If you want to be screened to determine the risk of your baby having Downs Syndrome you need a short Booking Appointment initially, no earlier than 10 weeks, either with the midwife or your GP.  They will then provide a scan referral and ask you to call 01344 877591 to book your scan.  Do this as soon as possible as appointments go quickly.

Booking Appointment:

You need to make a Booking Appointment with the midwife at 10-12 weeks, after deciding on the place of birth and before the 12 week scan.  During the 40 minute appointment she will take a full history and some blood samples.  If you cannot get an appointment before your scan then you need to get your blood tests completed at the phlebotomy department at Heatherwood any week day between 08:30 and 12:45.  Ask your GP for the blood test forms.

Ultrasound Scan:

You will be offered an ultrasound scan at 11-13 weeks.  This is to confirm the due date of the baby and whether there is only one!

You will be offered a second scan at 20 weeks.  This should be done at the hospital at which you intend to give birth and will take a more detailed look at your baby.  If theis scan is being completed at either Heatherwood or Wexham Park you will need to take your maternity with you.
