If you're planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.
Our practice nurses are available by appointment to offer medical advice regarding travel and vaccinations where appropriate.
These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. 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.
Travel Risk Assessment
We offer a full travel and advice immunisation service. If you are travelling abroad please complete our Travel Risk Assessment Form in plenty of time (We recommend 6-8 weeks) before your journey. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
You can also collect a travel questionnaire from reception. This should be completed and returned to reception. The Practice Nurse will then check your records and make an entry on the computer as to what vaccinations or anti Malaria treatment you require. You should ring the surgery 3 days after bringing in the form and, where appropriate, make an appointment with the practice nurse for your travel vaccinations.
