Travel Health
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to have 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 required.
We would recommend you arrange a travel advice appointment at least 12 weeks before you travel. Due to ongoing pressures on NHS services, there are fewer appointments available for travel advice.
Please could you complete the Travel Risk Assessment form below and bring it into the surgery. This will need to be done at least 12 weeks prior to your travel date. The practice nurse will then contact you at a later date to make you an appointment. PLEASE NOTE: It may not always be possible to accommodate your request for an appointment and you may be directed to an alternative service on these occasions.
