Travel Vaccinations and advice
Non-urgent advice: Travel Vaccine Appointments
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel please contact our reception team at least 8-12 weeks before you travel.
You will be asked to provide the following information:
- Name

Your information will be passed to our Travel Vaccination Nurse who will review your medical records to ascertain what vaccinations you require. You will then be contacted by the Practice Nurse who will arrange a suitable appointment for you to attend the clinic.
Depending on the vaccinations you need, you may require further appointments in order to complete the course of treatment. The final appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
