Travel Health Information

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements.  This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.  There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below.

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible  – at least 8-12 weeks before you travel – as a further appointment s may be required with the practice nurse to complete the vaccinations. Appointments cannot be made unless we have received a completed Travel Questionnaire ( see link below).

Some vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine.  Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

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

Travel Health Questionnaire

Some of the vaccines we offer are not available on the NHS. We have put together this list to help you. If you would like to book an appointment with the nurse for travel, this is a free consultation and we will only charge for the vaccines we give you.

Please note you will need a consultation with the nurse before any vaccines are given. Please allow 15 minutes for a consultation.

We will ask you to pay after you have had your consultation. Please note we only take cash. Sorry for any inconvenience.

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form fully before coming to see the nurse. This can also be printed and faxed or handed in when making your appointment. Appointments will not be made without receipt of this form.

Although we make every effort to see you at our Practice within 4 weeks, if you need an appointment more urgently, our local pharmacy at Queens Park Pharmacy and other local practices offer an onsite, more urgent service.
