Travel Clinic

For travel immunisations please fill in a travel form, available to download from the above tab or from reception, at least six weeks prior to travel. The practice is now registered as a yellow fever centre and can offer yellow fever immunisations. Please ask at reception for details. 

Travel Vaccinations

Thinking of travelling abroad at the last minute?  Hoping to book a fantastic deal on the internet, or get a bargain at the travel agents?  Please remember WE MAY NOT HAVE LAST MINUTE TRAVEL APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE.  Your health safety is your responsibility.  Also please factor in the cost of any immunisations you may need.

We are a Yellow Fever Centre, this means we are able to give this vaccination to both registered and non-registered/temporary patients and is applicable to yellow fever only, you cannot register as a temporary patient and use our travel clinic for any other vaccinations.  The cost is £61.50 to registered patients, and £66.50 to non-registered patients, and is payable in advance.

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to complete our travel health questionnaire and return it to us at least six weeks before you travel. This is because some immunisations require more than one dose to complete a course, or take time before they are effective. Once our nurse has reviewed your form you will be contacted to arrange an appointment.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Caribbean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

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

We stock and supply the following vaccines free of charge:

Polio               Typhoid                      Tetanus                     Diphtheria
