TRAVEL ADVICE

Our practice nurses are available by appointment to offer medical advice regarding travel and vaccinations where appropriate. Please telephone reception to book an appointment. 

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to book a telephone appointment with one of our practice nurse to discuss your travel advice and possible vaccinations.  If two or more family members are travelling please ask for a double appointment.  It is important to make this initial telephone appointment as early as possible - ideally 6-8 weeks before you travel, as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
