Do you need vaccinations?
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements.
This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are require.
Select the region you are travelling to find out more.
Travel Assessment
Please complete the travel form before making an appointment with the travel nurse, the form is available on our downloads page or from the reception desk.
Sumbit a Travel Assessment Form
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible at least 6 weeks before you travel as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Travel Vaccination Prices
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.
