Travel Advice and Travel Vaccination

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

Before Travelling:

  • PLEASE COMPLETE YOUR TRAVEL RISK ASSESSMENT FORM AND ARRANGE YOUR APPOINTMENT 6-8 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR DEPARTURE DATE

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.

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.

We provide the following NHS Travel Vaccinations:

  • Hepatitis A (FREE)

Please note that we are unable to give you advice ahead of time on the vaccinations listed above. If your travel destination requires that you have any of the vaccinations listed above, you will need to arrange for this separately via a private travel clinic.  NOTE: if you require a Yellow Fever certificate this must be issued a minimum of 10 days prior to departure.  Some of these vaccinations may require a course to be completed over several weeks.
