Travel Health
Do you need vaccinations?
Our nurses can provide travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations. Please arrange an appointment for a travel consultation at least 6-8 weeks before departure if possible. Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks.
Where possible, it is recommended that patients seek a GP or a private travel clinic at least six to eight weeks before they are due to travel, this also helps us plan appropriately in advance of the patient’s appointment. I have shared below the NHS communication which explains the process for patients. https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/travel-vaccinations/
Select the region you are travelling to find out more.
Please be aware that not all vaccinations for travel are provided on the NHS and they may need to seek these from a private travel clinic.
Travel Assessment
If you are travelling abroad please complete and submit the travel form in plenty of time (we recommend 6-8 weeks) before your journey.
