TRAVEL ADVICE

Our Practice Nurses are available by appointment to offer medical advice regarding travel and vaccinations where appropriate. Please telephone Reception to book an appointment. 

If you require any vaccinations relating to international travel you need to make an appointment with the Practice Nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include the countries and areas within the countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

Please speak to Reception regarding how to book this appointment.

Please make an appointment six weeks before you are due to travel as you may need more than one visit for a course of vaccinations.

Travel vaccinations that are available on the NHS are provided free of charge to all our patients but we cannot provide these services to any patients that are registered as 'Temporary Residents'.

Malaria tablets can be purchased over the counter at your local pharmacy. 

We have an online travel vaccination form below which needs to be completed for each patient who is travelling abroad. This will assist us with our assessment of what vaccines you may require. We can also send this to you via SMS text message to complete before your appointment
