In order to give you the best care and preparation before you travel YOU MUST LET US KNOW AT LEAST 8 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR TRAVEL DATE. You can pick up a travel assessment form from reception and the practice nurse will then review the form. The may take up to one week so please allow plenty of time. Please put as much information as possible on the form about the areas you are visiting.

Any requests received less than 8 weeks before travelling will be dealt with on an individual basis but the practice reserves the right to decide if you will be seen here or not. We Will always try to accommodate but it is not always possible. if we cannot see you here, there is a private travel clinic located just next door to the surgery.

We are authorised to administer only the basic travel vaccines in General Practice. Many vaccines are now only administered at private travel clinics, for which there will be a charge.

PLEASE NOTE -  We do not issue prescriptions for private travel vaccinations. We also do not offer prescriptions for Malaria tablets - these are available over the counter to purchase at most pharmacies.
