Travel Advice/Immunisations
Travel advice and vaccinations are on request and by routine appointment. Please state that the appointment is for travel advice when you book the appointment.
Please remember that we do not have last-minute appointments and would suggest that you book an appointment at least 8 weeks before you intend to travel.
There is no charge for the majority of travel vaccines which are available on the NHS eg tetanus, polio, typhoid and hepatitis; however, there is a charge for some vaccines including yellow fever,
rabies, Japanese B encephalitis etc. This practice is a designated centre for administering of yellow fever vaccine.
Malaria protection is also not available on the NHS, and should you require malaria protection, different medication will be recommended depending on the area that you travel to. You will need to pay your chemist
for the supply of this.
Please note that advice given by travel agents is not always accurate due to the fast changing nature of diseases worldwide. The practice has up-to-date information, and would therefore advise patients to book an
appointment to discuss their travel plans. This is especially true for travel outside of North West Europe, which may bring the traveller into contact with diseases less common at home.
For those patients with access to the internet, a useful site for information is that of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on: www.fco.gov.uk
Non NHS Services
- Certificates, reports and private medical examination services are provided outside the scope of NHS guidelines and recommended charges are made for these services.
- Services include: Passports forms/photographs, fitness to travel certificates, provident association claims (BUPA, PPP), employers’ reports, LGV, PCV, DVLA, taxi driver examinations
with/without full medical etc.
- Please note that the practice gives priority according to clinical need, and as much notice as possible needs to be given for such non-NHS requests
