Pre Travel Assessment

If you are travelling abroad please make sure you contact us in plenty of time to arrange any vaccinations that may be necessary. To help the Travel Clinic Nurses assess your needs it is important that they are in receipt of the assessment form before your appointment. Please be aware that we require at least 6 weeks notice before you travel to allow time for your vaccinations.

Print out the FIT FOR TRAVEL information relating to the countries you will be visiting (www.fitfortravel.nhs.co.uk) –don’t forget to check out what anti-malarials you may need (Please note: the surgery does not provide prescriptions for anti-malarials, either HNS or Private, including for those under 18. If you require this service please contact a local travel clinic – details below)

If you are travelling at short notice (or leave things to the last minute) it is unlikely we will be able to assess the risks of your personal travel itinerary and give the necessary advice or vaccines. Alternatively you should arrange a private appointment with either Masta (0330 100 4200) or Boots (0345 301 4219) or look online for other local clinics.
