Travel Advice
For travel advice please make an appointment with one of the Practice Nurses at least 2 weeks before travel. We specialise in travel for under 4 weeks. If you are travelling for longer than 4 weeks you may need additional expert advice from a travel clinic. You are allocated a limited appointment time and it would be helpful if you:-
A) Have a list of the vaccines recommended for your travel.
B) A list of the vaccines you have had in the last 10 years.
You may be asked to return for a follow up appointment if needed. Please note some vaccines and private prescriptions for Malaria tablets, have a charge attached. We only accept cash or a cheque.
We have a travel leaflet at reception with further advice. Other useful contacts are:
