We offer a travel advice and immunisation service. If you are travelling abroad please contact reception who will forward a form to complete and submit in plenty of time (at least 8 weeks) before your journey.

Your form will be assessed by one of our Practice Nurses who will look at your vaccination record and the requirements for your travel destination. We will advise you what you need, what we can provide for you, what you will/won't have to pay for, and signpost you to services that we don't provide if needed. 

The following websites will give you additional information and travel advice. It is advisable to research your destination before flying in order to be fully prepared!

Travel Health for information of vaccinations available on NHS

MASTA for private vaccination clinics

Gov.uk for specific country travel advice

EHIC to apply for your free European Health Insurance Card

Our Nurses can provide comprehensive travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations. Please arrange an appointment for a travel consultation at least 8 weeks before departure if possible. Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks.

We offer the travel health assessment service free of charge, but unfortunately the NHS does not cover the cost of all the treatments you may need. Therefore, for some services you may need to pay fro the relevant prescriptions.  Furthermore, there may be some other services that can only be provided in specialist centres. We will advise you what you need, what we can provide for you, what you will/won't have to pay for, and signpost you to services that we don't provide if needed. 

Malaria Tablets are NOT provided on the NHS and sometimes can be bought over-the-counter or may require a private prescription. The nurse can advise regarding this or you could discuss with your pharmacist.
