Are you prepared for travel?

If you are travelling abroad you may require vaccinations relating to foreign travel.  Please call the surgery to make a 20 minute appointment, preferably 6 weeks prior to your travel date.

Prior to your appointment complete one form per traveller and bring this to your appointment, download and read our travel health advice leaflet.

PLEASE contact the surgery in good time before your departure date (preferably 4-6 weeks prior to travel) to ensure a timely appointment with the nurse.

It is important you are covered with the correct vaccinations but please be aware we might not have the capacity to offer last minute travel appointments and you may need to attend a private travel clinic.

As from 1st September 2023, we are only able to offer a travel risk assessment and NHS funded travel vaccinations which is Hepatitis A and Typhoid. Any private vaccinations that are required will need to be sought from a private provider such a travel clinic or a pharmacist that provides this service. 

NB at the moment we are experiencing a national shortage of vaccines so some will not be available.  The practice nurse will advise you of these at your appointment.
