Booking your Appointment with the Nurse
- Please Allow Plenty of Time
Patients are advised to allow plenty of time for vaccinations (eight weeks) especially if traveling to an out-of-the-way place where they'll be living or working among local people. Some courses of vaccine such as rabies or Hepatitis B need to be given over several weeks. We do not accept travel requests less than 8 weeks prior to travel, if you have less that eight weeks please contact a private travel clinic. - Travel Risk Assessment
If you need to attend our Travel Clinic please complete a Travel Risk Assessment form (available from reception) with details of your proposed journey. - Travel Appointment

Travel Vaccination Charges
We offer the travel health service. However, the NHS does not cover the cost of all the treatments you may need. Therefore, for some services you may need to pay additional charges.
Malaria Tablets are NOT provided on the NHS and sometimes can be bought over-the-counter or may require a private prescription. The nurse can advise regarding this or you could discuss with your pharmacist. REMEMBER some tablets have to be started at least one week before you travel and you need continue to take them when you return to the UK for the advised length of time.
