Travel Health Clinic

Travel Advice and Travel Vaccination (including yellow fever)

If these are required, we advise patients to book an appointment with our Practice Nurse.

Our travel service is only available to registered patients at the practice.

All patients are required to complete a travel risk assessment form prior to being offered an appointment. Once you submit your risk assessment form.

Patient’s contacting us with less than adequate notice of their intention to travel will not be seen at the practice for an appointment and will be advised to contact/attend a private travel clinic. You will only be offered a clinic appointment that is a minimum of 10-14 days prior to your departure date.

This is to ensure that any vaccines you need to receive can take effect. Any vaccines received after this time do not allow for sufficient time to produce antibodies against diseases from vaccination.

We regret that our Nurses are unable to routinely offer travel advice over the phone. Please use the Travel Health Pro website (Travel Health Pro) to find out what vaccinations you may need and to research any travel risks associated with your travel destination. In regards to the schedule of which vaccinations are to be administered and how long vaccines last, please find further information here: NHS Travel Vaccinations.

Please note that our reception team are not clinically trained and will be unable to advise on what vaccinations you may need for your upcoming travel plans. Please consult a private travel clinic should you wish to discuss your upcoming travel plans prior to your booked appointment or if you are unable to be seen in the practice.

The surgery is an authorised yellow fever centre and provides a full range of travel requirements. Any charges that apply for immunisations compare favourably with other private travel clinics.
