TRAVEL ADVICE

Our practice nurses are available by appointment to offer medical advice regarding travel and vaccinations where appropriate. They also provide comprehensive travel health advice and arrange for appropriate immunisations. Please come to the surgery or fill out the online travel questionnaire. This will need to be done as as early as you can before you intend to fly (minimum 6 weeks before departure). Vaccines need time to take effect and some may require a course over several weeks. Once this has been reviewed, you will be contacted for an appointment with the Nurse for the travel health appointment.
