If you are travelling abroad, you will need to consider the health risks including Malaria, Food and Water Hygiene and Vaccines for the Country you are visiting.
For some countries you may require or be advised to have vaccines to protect against certain diseases.
Please contact our reception team who will be able to print out your vaccination records.
Book early and check what we can provide.
At least 8 weeks before your date of travel, you will need to complete a travel health risk assessment form. Paper copies are available at reception if you are unable to print this off or complete online.
Once this form is completed and returned to the surgery, you will then need to contact reception to make your travel clinic appointment with the practice nurse.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription which cost more than the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
Please see the downloadable document below for a list of Pharmacies and private Travel Clinics that will be able to provide you with non-NHS vaccinations and/or malaria medication.
Please note although we will be able to advise about the risks at your destination, we are only able to provide the vaccines available on the NHS
- Hepatitis A
- Typhoid
- Cholera
- Polio (given as combined diphtheria tetanus and polio)
For all other vaccines including yellow fever, you will need to access a private travel vaccination clinic or pharmacy offering travel health care services
Most vaccines take at least 2 weeks to become effective. A full course of some vaccines may take longer and require more than one appointment
If you apply to us within a shorter notice period than 8 weeks we may not be able to satisfy some or all of your needs. There are private clinics that may be able to help you speed things along in these circumstances.
The following information leaflet will help you to stay healthy on your trip.
It covers many topics such as food and drink advice, insect and animals bites information and heat-stroke prevention advice.
