Travel health
We provide a full range of travel health services, by appointment, to our registered patients. Our nurses can provide up-to-date advice on:
- vaccinations
- malaria prevention
- staying healthy abroad.
We are a registered Yellow Fever centre, and can provide certificates of immunisation where required.
Details of vaccinations are kept in your medical records for future reference.
When should I book?
Wherever possible, plan ahead and see the nurse 6-8 weeks before travelling, as some vaccinations need to be administered several weeks in advance. But even if you're travelling at the last minute, you can often still have some vaccinations.
Charges
Most vaccinations are provided free of charge, through the NHS. Vaccinations against Yellow Fever, Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis are not available on the NHS and a charge will be made. These vaccines are not required for travel to most countries.
If you are travelling to an area where there is malaria, the nurse may advise tablets to help prevent it. These tablets are not available on the NHS and can be purchased from a pharmacy (with a private prescription, which the nurse will give you).
