If you’re planning to travel outside the UK, you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world.
Vaccinations are available to protect you against infections such as, typhoid and hepatitis A.
In the UK, the childhood vaccination programme protects you against a number of diseases, but doesn’t cover most of the infectious diseases found overseas.
Arranging Travel Immunisations
Travel immunisations are available by prior arrangement. Please ask for a Travel Health Questionnaire from reception or print off the form here.
If you require any travel vaccinations please contact the surgery at least 8 weeks before you travel. A receptionist will book you an appointment with the Practice Nurse. You must bring a completed Travel Health Questionnaire with you to this appointment. The appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel.
It is important to complete this form as early as possible. We require the form at least 8 weeks before you travel to allow us to organise your vaccinations and ensure you are fully protected by the time you leave the UK.
Please note that charges may apply for certain travel vaccinations as they are not covered by NHS. You will be advised in advance of your appointment of any costs involved and asked to bring payment with you prior to your appointment.
We are unable to offer travel vaccination appointments at very short notice i.e. less than two weeks, so you may have to attend a private clinic for these. Please see details of these clinics below:
