Pre Travel
Do NOT attend the clinic if you have Covid-19 symptoms – continuous cough, high temperature, loss of smell or taste. Contact your GP, or call NHS 111 or use the online service - https://111.nhs.uk/covid-19/ OR if you have a rash due to the current Monkey Pox outbreak.
We are a centre of excellence, providing expert pre-travel advice, holiday vaccinations and malaria prophylaxis to the general public and a range of companies.
For overseas travel that will last more than a month, ideally it is best to visit the travel clinic around 4-6 weeks before travelling. For shorter trips visit at least 2 - 3 weeks before. However, even if travelling at short notice we still recommend attending for a consultation including vaccinations.
We offer a range of services including:
- Pre-travel risk assessment
- Country specific information and advice
- Vaccinations and malaria prophylaxis
- A wide range of travel health products
- Short notice/evening/weekend appointments
Questions often asked about appointments
- Ideally a list of previous vaccinations (this can be a verbal list)
- How many doses did you have of a particular vaccine? (for example, some vaccines such as hepatitis A and B require multiple doses)
- A list of any medication you may be on
- Any relevant medical history
- A copy of your travel itinerary
- Wear loose top for ease of access to upper arm for vaccination
- Your child's 'Red Book' if attending
