Travel Clinic

 

We have appointments available through the week. Please complete and return the online forms as thoroughly as possible. A trained nurse will review your forms and message you with a plan. This might be to tell you that you are up to date and to sign post you to information or to advise on booking an appointment.

Please be aware that some vaccinations require a course for full protection so you will need to plan approximately 6 weeks in advance.

For last minute travellers, appointments may be limited so you may be sign posted to a private travel health clinic if we cannot accommodate you.

Please visit the Travel Health Pro website to help support your plans and get the best from your appointments.

Complete Travel Questionnaire

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please complete our online travel form.

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 8 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

Nurse Review

Our nurses will then review your form and advise our administrative team which vaccinations are required. 

Contact the surgery after 48 hours

Patient's are advised to contact the surgery after 48 hours of initial form submission to find out if any vaccinations are required - at which point they can book an appointment to have these done.
