Do you need vaccinations?

Our Nurses can provide comprehensive travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations. Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks.

Please arrange an appointment for a travel consultation at a minimum of 8 weeks before departure if possible.

Due to high demand at busy times of year it may not always be possible to offer you an appointment in time for your trip and you may be advised to book an appointment at a private travel clinic. 

Select the region you are travelling to find out more.

Travel advice is covered by the NHS; however some vaccinations and prescriptions are only available privately. Please ask at Reception for prices.  Payment for non-NHS services must be made at the first travel appointment.
