Travel Vaccinations and advice

If you're planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.

Our practice nurses are available by appointment to offer medical advice regarding travel and vaccinations where appropriate. 

Travel Risk Assessment

We offer a full travel and advice immunisation service. If you are travelling abroad please complete our Travel Risk Assessment Form in plenty of time (We recommend 6-8 weeks) before your journey.

Find our more about Travel Vaccinations on nhs.uk.

You can find out which vaccinations are necessary or recommended for the areas you'll be visiting on these websites:

• Travel Health Pro
• NHS fit for Travel

Some countries require proof of vaccination (for example, for polio or yellow fever vaccination), which must be documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) before you enter or when you leave a country.

Find out more about the vaccines available for travellers abroad.

Not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS. There are some charges involved for some travel vaccinations such as Rabies, or Japanese Encephalitis. The practice nurse will discuss these vaccinations with you. If these are required for your trip we will give you a price for the course plus any administration fees.

Payment MUST be made prior to the vaccines being ordered. Once they are in stock, the surgery will contact you to book the appointment for your vaccinations. Please ensure that you are given a receipt on payment.

For vaccines that are especially ordered, these will still need to be paid for even if you cancel your appointment.

We will not administer any vaccinations purchased elsewhere as the cold chain cannot be guaranteed.
