As Madwife stated there is no problem you can get MMR and other immunisations done at the medical for a charge, the GP should do MMR(tell GP what you need it for) or try your Hospitals Occupational Health/Vaccination clinics. Hope this helps

Very True!! as a mentor and having completed PK2000 I had to tell/guide students time after time what was needed for their EBL and their PBL as they did not have a clue!! Also had to teach/mentor as it would be a bad reflection on me and my practice ...

Oh I do agree with all thats been said ! but since i was 1 of the new pk2000(1994) i worked my Butt off and it was more staff encouragement and willingness to teach. It was hard work and I did nights weekends etc and had 2 yong children(i don't know...

Midwives in the UK are trained to deal with all eventualities and we can call a Dr in a split second too!!! but not for a "normal " delivery !!!!!
