If you require any travel vaccinations then you should contact us well in advance of travel. You will need to complete a travel questionnaire and pass to our reception at least 8 weeks before departure.

You can collect a form from reception or use the link below. You should then contact reception after 3 working days to make an appointment with the practice nurse (who will have assessed your needs).  Please note that we may have to order vaccine stocks for you and you may also need a follow up appointment.  All this will be explained to you by the nurse.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge.  This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
