Our practice nurses are available by appointment to offer medical advice regarding travel and vaccinations where appropriate. 

Travel Risk Assessment

If you are travelling abroad please complete our Travel Risk Assessment Form in plenty of time (We recommend 6-8 weeks) before your journey.

We can only provide the NHS vaccinations, anything else needed you would need to arrange with a private travel clinic.

You can find out which vaccinations are necessary or recommended for the areas you'll be visiting on these websites:

Some countries require proof of vaccination (for example, for polio or yellow fever vaccination), which must be documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) before you enter or when you leave a country.

If you have not left enough time to make an appointment with a nurse for the travel advice you will need to attend a travel clinic for advice.

If you are going to be away for more than 30 days you need to contact a travel clinic for your travel advice.

If you are travelling to more than 1 country you need to contact a travel clinic for your travel advice.
