How Our Services Work
You contact us on 0800 633 822 identifying the service you require and any questions you may have. We will then work with you to organise delivery of the service. We liaise to co-ordinate a suitable date and time in our Nurses’ schedules for the required service to take place, emailing you confirmation on completion of our conversation.

For Vaccination Service bookings, our email confirmation will contain a copy of the relevant vaccination information sheet and consent form that each employee to receive a vaccination is to complete and return to us at least one week prior to the scheduled service time.

To help you promote our visit to your staff, we will email you a poster advertising the date and time that the vaccinations have been scheduled.

A few days prior to our scheduled visit, we send you an email reminder with the name of the Nurse(s) who will be providing your vaccinations.

One Nurse vaccinates approximately 20 staff per hour. Staff are required to wait nearby for up to 20 minutes after receiving their vaccination, to ensure the nurse can assist them should they experience any ill effects from the vaccination. The nurse will remain on site for 20 minutes after the final vaccination.

It is a legal requirement that a Certified First Aider is present at the time of a nurse vaccinator visit. Ideally, should you have a first aid qualified person to assist our nurse, you would provide this person. If not, we will supply the Certified First Aider but there will be additional cost. We will not be able to vaccinate unless there is a Certified First Aider and we cannot vaccinate them at the same time.
